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.
[Ne]3s23p2 so there are 4 valence electrons.
4 it is a good semiconductor.
Valence of Silicon is +4 and +2
Silicon has 4 valence electrons :D
4
Si (silicon) is in the fourth group, has 14 total electrons, and four valence electrons.
14
Four.
The normal valance number of silicon is 4, so with Si 2- one knows that silicon now has 6 electrons in it's valence shell.
Silicon has 4 valence electrons.
4
Si (silicon) is in the fourth group, has 14 total electrons, and four valence electrons.
Silicon has a total of 10 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
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.
That neutral silicon atom has four electrons in its valence shell.

5 valence electrons
There are 2 valence electrons in an atom of magnesium. There are 5 valence electrons that are in an atom of phosphorus. There are 4 valence electrons that are in a silicon atom.
Four.
The normal valance number of silicon is 4, so with Si 2- one knows that silicon now has 6 electrons in it's valence shell.
