SILICON
Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a tetravalent metalloid, less reactive than its chemical analog carbon, the nonmetal directly above it in the periodic table, but more reactive than germanium, the metalloid directly below it in the table. Silicon is a solid at room temperature, It is used in most electronics (motherboards, chips, transistors, IC chips). That is why its called Silicon valley
We both chose the same semiconductor! =) I automatically thought of computer chips and implants prior to researching it's other properties and uses! Haha
