Number of electron shells in silicon?

the electronic structure of silicon is [Ne] 3s2 3p2 in short form. In full it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 so there are 5 orbitals with electrons in.In the electron shell school system, you would say there are 3 electron "shells" in use, as it has a full 2/2, a full 8/8 and 4/8 of the 3rd "shell".
