What is the Electron shell arrangement of a Silicon Atom?
what is the arrangement of electrons in an atom of a silicon
What can you infer about the number of electrons in the outermost electron cloud of a silicon atom based on silicons position on the periodic table?
Silicon is in Group 14, and all members of Group 14 have 4 electrons in the outermost energy level, or valence shell (14-10). Also, silicon is in the second column of the p-block on the periodic table. All members of the p-block have a valence shell of ns2np1-6, where n is the outermost, or highest energy level. Since silicon is in the second column of the p-block, and it is in period 3, its electron configuration is [Ne]3s23p2, in which the outermost, or highest energy level, or valence shell is the 3rd energy level, which contains 4 electrons.
Will a lone silicon atom be diamagnetic or paramagnetic atom?
it will be paramagnetic because silicon has unpaired electrons
What is the total number of electrons in all of the energy cells in an Si atom?
"Energy cells" is non-standard terminology, and I don't know what you meant by it. A neutral silicon atom has 14 electrons in total, if that helps.

How many energy levels are found in an atom of carbon?
There are 2 energy levels in a Carbon atom. The first energy level consists of '1s' orbital, and the second energy level consists of the '2s' orbital and the '2p' orbital.
Whose rule or principle delineates the placement of additional electrons in the unfilled orbital of lowest energy?
The orbital that will result in the most stable configuration, i.e., the one with the highest first ionization energy, in the resulting atom will be filled first.
What atom is represented in the following orbital diagram 1s2s2p?
The next highest energy electron orbital after 3p is the 4s orbital, after which comes the 3d and then 4p orbitals.
If the s and p orbitals of the highest main energy level of an atom are filled with electrons then what does the atom have?
If the S orbital has two electrons and the P orbital has six you go on to the D orbital. Electron energy levels follow this format: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4p6 4d10 and so on
When an atom absorbs enough energy electrons move to an orbital?
The electrons become excited and move to higher energy orbitals.
What is the electron that are in the highest energy level of an atom and that are involved in chemical reactions?
valence electrons, there can be 1 to 8 of them in the outer s orbital and 3 p orbitals.
What is the description of the Bohr model of the atom?
Each electron in an atom is in an orbital (*NOT* an orbit!!) at a specific energy level from the positive nucleus. The energy levels of these orbitals are fixed -- an electron can go from orbital 's' to orbital 'p', but it can't go halfway between these two orbitals. When an electron in an atom goes from a higher orbital to a lower one, then the atom must give off an amount of energy, that is exactly the difference in energy in the two levels. For a hydrogen atom, these orbital levels are fixed by the fact that the angular momentum of an electron in an orbital is quantized -- ie, it comes in exact multiples, but not fractions, of a minimal amount.

Describe where the electrons are in an atom where they have the lowest energy and where they have the highest energy.?
electrons are outside the nucleus of an atom they have the highest energy very near to the nucleus and as they are getting far the energy is decreasing
What does the first principle energy level of the hydrogen atom contain?
s orbital.
