The electron configuration of silicon is 2,8,4. or in other words, 3s^2, 3p^2. Therefore, there are three shells around silicon.
Silicon has 3 energy shells.
As silicon is in the third row of the periodic table, it has 3 shells. (2-8-4)
An atom of silicon has three electron shells or orbitals. These are the K, L, and M shells. The K shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the L shell can hold up to 8 electrons, and the M shell can hold up to 18 electrons.
germanium
Darmstadtium has seven electron shells around the nucleus.
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".
Silicon is in period 3 of the periodic table. This means it has 3 energy levels or electron shells. This places it in the third row of the periodic table.
periods move from left to right find the element you are looking for and move all the way to the left if it is the third element down it is in period 3
The preponderance of the elements in sand are silicon or oxygen, with twice as many oxygen atoms as silicon atoms. In naturally occurring sand, some impurities with additional elements as iron are usually present in small amounts.
Silicon and carbon can form covalent bonds when they share electrons to fill their outer electron shells. This results in the formation of compounds such as silicon carbide (SiC), where the silicon and carbon atoms are bonded together in a lattice structure.
Silicon. Electronic configuration [Ne]3s23p2
fluorine and silicon form a perdominately ionic bond. fluorine is a nonmetal and silicon is a metal.
