how many hydrogen atoms must be bond to silicon to give it an octet of valence electrons?
Haz Drex
Silicone has 4 valence electros so it would need 4 hydrogen atoms to give itself an octet of valence electrons.

Number of valence electrons in two hydrogen atoms?
Two. One hydrogen atom has one valence electron, so two hydrogen atoms will have two valence electrons :)
How many valence electrons does a neutral atom of silicon have?
A neutral atom of silicon will have 4 valence electrons. The amount of valence electrons that a neutral atom will have can be found by the atoms group number in the periodic table.
What is the electron pair geometry of SiH4?
The molecule SiH4 has the silicon atom in the center (naturally) and the four hydrogen atoms are arranged very symmetrically at the corners of a tetrahedron, surrounding the silicon atom. Each hydrogen atom shares its single electron with the silicon, and the silicon shares its four valence electrons evenly with the four hydrogen atoms.
How many valence electrons do atoms in period 1 have?
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, whereas helium has 2 valence electrons.
How many electrons do silicon atoms have?
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
How many valence electrons does CH3CO-OH have?
Through covalent bonding, the nitrogen atom will have 8 valence electrons, the hydrogen atoms will each have 2 valence electrons, and the chlorine atom will have 8 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons in H2 atom?
H2 is not an atom, it is a diatomic molecule. Each hydrogen atom has 1 valence electron. When two hydrogen atoms covalently bond to form an H2 molecule, there are two valence electrons being shared by the two atoms.
What kind of bonding is hydrogen gas occurs when two valence electrons are shared between the Hydrogen atoms?
covalent
How many electrons that a hydrogen atom shares?
Hydrogen atoms have one valence electron which is also the only electron they have.
What Carbon has four valence electrons How many hydrogen atoms can bond to a single carbon atom?
all carbon atoms have 4 valence electrons. 4 hydrogen atoms can bond to a single carbon. That would be methane.
How many valence electrons are present in silicon?
The valency of silicon is 4. This means that this atom has the tendency to behave as if it had 4 'hooks'. Basically, silicon is ready to take on 4 electrons with which it would secure the same electronic configuration as Ar (argon) which is one of the most stable, non-reacting gases, and this is what most atoms are aiming for; a stable state.
How many hydrogen atoms would you expect to bind with an atom with 4 valence electrons?
4
