Silicon carbide ( SiC ), also known as carborundum ( / ˌkɑːrbəˈrʌndəm / ), is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon. A semiconductor, it occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite, but has been mass-produced as a powder and crystal since 1893 for use as an abrasive.
As expected silicon is larger than carbon due to the presence of a second shell: i.e., C = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 2 while Si = 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 2. A comparison of the relative sizes of carbon and silicon are given in Table \(\PageIndex{1}\).

Aug 2, 2023 · Silicon and carbon are elements on the periodic table but have different atomic structures. Silicon has 14 electrons in its outermost orbital, while carbon has only 6. This difference in electron configuration gives silicon and carbon very different properties.
Carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) is a development of pure carbon–carbon that uses silicon carbide with carbon fibre. It is slightly denser than pure carbon-carbon and thought [by whom?] to be more durable. It can be used in the brake disc and brake pads of high-performance road cars.
