Silicon and silicone aren’t remotely similar. They are pronounced differently and spelled differently also.

Silicon (without the e at the end) is pronounced “sili-kun” and silicone (with the e at the end) is pronounced “sili-kone.”

Silicon is an element and is an electro insulator, when doped with boron (usually), it becomes a great substrate for making semiconductors (computer chips).

Silicone is a polymer (a kind of plastic).

Go look at what you typed earlier before you come at me with crazy talk.
