4 electrons in the outer shell
2-8-4 electron configuration
:D
Silicon, like carbon, has four valance electrons, and needs another four to have a stable octet.
A neutral silicon atom will have 14 electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. A link follows and can be found below.
By looking at the group number you can tell how many valance electrons there are ex: Group 1= 1 valance electrons Group 2-12= 2 valance electrons Group 13= 3 valance electrons Group 14= 4 valance electrons Group 15= 5 valance electrons Group 16= 6 valance electrons Group 17= 7 valance electrons Group 18= 8 valance electrons

Regardless of the isotope, every silicon atom has 14 electrons.
That neutral silicon atom has four electrons in its valence shell.

2 valance electrons
There are 27 valance electrons.
Iodine has 7 valance electrons
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.
Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)
By looking at the group number you can tell how many valance electrons there are ex: Group 1= 1 valance electrons Group 2-12= 2 valance electrons Group 13= 3 valance electrons Group 14= 4 valance electrons Group 15= 5 valance electrons Group 16= 6 valance electrons Group 17= 7 valance electrons Group 18= 8 valance electrons
They have different numbers of valance electrons
6 valence electrons
