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.
