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 electrons are in the valence shell of He?
There are two electrons in the valance shell of helium. Since this is the first shell, it is filled by two electrons.
