 Silicon is the second most common element in the lunar crust (after [[oxygen]]). Silicon on the moon is most commonly found in the form of the silicate ion, SiO<sub>4</sub><sup>+4</sup>.   Most lunar rocks are in the form of silicates.
-In elemental form, silicon is a ''semimetal''; in purified form, it is a semiconductor which is used for semiconductor electronic devices.  Wafers of single-crystal silicon may be used to make solar cells.  An alloy of siicon and [[hydroge]]n, ''amorphous silicon'' (sometimes abbreviated to a-Si) is also used as a material for thin-film solar cells, which are lower in cost, but also lower in efficiency.

 The primary oxide of silicon is silica,  SiO<sub>2</sub>; the oxide SiO also exists, and in general, a silicon oxide may be any mixture of these, with an empirical formula  SiO<sub>x</sub>.  Silica is a transparent solid which may be found in crystalline or amorphous form.  Silica or silicate is the primary constituent of [[glass]].  While a form of glass can be made from pure silica, the very high melting temperature of silica makes high-silica glass difficult to work with, and almost all commonly used glass contains other components.  On Earth, sodium oxide is usually added to form low-cost ''soda-lime glass'' (commonly called ''window glass''); boron oxides may then added to form the higher-cost ''borosilicate glass'', which has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and hence may be used in applications involving heating and cooling.  Many other specialized glass formulations exist, which use silica.
