After the 3d sublevel is filled, additional electrons will occupy the 4p orbitals, for a total of 6 electrons in the 4p sublevel.
If an element has less than four valence electrons, it will tend to lose its valence electrons and form cations. If an element has more than four valence electrons, it will tend to gain electrons and form anions. An element that has four valence electrons will tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.
Four electrons
It is got 4 electrons in its outermost shell. The last two electrons fall in the 4p orbitals.
Silicon is an element in group 14. It has four valence electrons. Silicon tends to share electrons rather than releasing or obtaining four electrons (which needs tremendous energy). Hence it forms covalent bonds.
Selenium or Se
It is Beryllium ,Be

it is the very common atom Carbon. --- The element could be carbon, if the four electrons are in the valence shell. However, if it is total of four electrons, then the element will be beryllium
TPN is same as 4P MCB TPN means Three Pole and Neutral - four pole MCB. 4P is four pole MCB
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d8 5s2 4p2 Edit by Dr.J. How can this have 5s2 electrons? This configuration is incorrect. Germanium is a p-block element and so has 4p valence electrons, not 5s.

6. If you look at the electron configuration of Selenium, it is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2 4p^4, meaning 10 electrons are located in the 3rd shell, and a total of 6 are located in the 4th shell, the highest energy shell. The electrons in the 4s and 4p shells combined are the valence electrons, meaning there are 6 valence electrons on Selenium.
