What is opal's valence?

Do you know what valence is? Seems not. It is the overall electric charge on an ion. Opal is silica, or silicon dioxide= SiO2. There is no valence associated with any stable compound. Perhaps you want the valence of the Silicon ion--that would be 4 positive, since Oxygen is 2 negative.


Which elements contain the same number of valence electrons as carbons?

silicon (Si). -apex


How many valence electrons does a neutral atom of silicon have?

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.


Using silicon dioxide as an example and the periodic table as a reference.describe how to to write the formula of a covalent compound.?

To write the formula of a covalent compound like silicon dioxide, determine the number of each element's valence electrons from the periodic table (Si has 4, O has 6). Then, balance the number of valence electrons between the atoms by sharing electrons to form a stable octet (or duet for hydrogen and helium). In the case of silicon dioxide, two oxygen atoms share electrons with one silicon atom to form SiO2.


How many valence electrons surround silicon?

Silicon has 4 valence electrons.


What is total number of valence electrons for siH4?

A silicon atom has 4 valence electrons and each hydrogen atom has one valence electron, for a total of 8.


How many valence electrons does silica have?

Does SiO2 have an ionic bond or covalent bond?

SiO2, also known as silicon dioxide, has a covalent bond. In silicon dioxide, silicon shares its four valence electrons with oxygen atoms, forming a network covalent structure. This results in a strong bond between silicon and oxygen atoms within the molecule.


How many valence electrons does Si have?

Si (silicon) is in the fourth group, has 14 total electrons, and four valence electrons.
