Silicon has 14 protons
its electron configuration is
1S2, 2S2, 2P6, 3S2 3P2
as you can see, the first and second electron shells are complete- they are core configuration
the "leftover", four electrons in the third shell (two is S level, two in P level) are the valence electrons
Silicon has 4 valence electrons, and hydrogen each has 1 valence electron. Silicon is in the center, with each of the four hydrogens around it. Silicon bonds once with each hydrogen. H | H-Si-H | H
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.
silicon prefers to share electrons forming covalent bonds
4V V-Valence Electrons Valence Electrons-Last electron (which is on the outer shell)
Silicon, like carbon, has four valance electrons, and needs another four to have a stable octet.
Si (silicon) is in the fourth group, has 14 total electrons, and four valence electrons.

Yes.
Silicon has 4 valence electrons.
That neutral silicon atom has four electrons in its valence shell.
Silicon has four valence electrons. This is due to its position in Group 14 of the periodic table, where elements typically have four electrons in their outermost shell. These valence electrons allow silicon to form four covalent bonds with other atoms, making it a key element in semiconductors and various chemical compounds.
Silicon (atomic number 14) has 4 valence electrons, located in the outermost shell of the atom.
Silicon has 4 valence electrons.
It is silicon that has the same number of valence electrons as carbon. Silicon sits right below carbon on the periodic table.
Silicon has 4 valence electrons, and hydrogen each has 1 valence electron. Silicon is in the center, with each of the four hydrogens around it. Silicon bonds once with each hydrogen. H | H-Si-H | H
Silicon has a total of 10 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
Silicon can form up to four covalent bonds with hydrogen. Silicon has four valence electrons in its outer shell, allowing it to bond with up to four hydrogen atoms through sharing of electrons. This results in the formation of molecules such as silane (SiH4), where each silicon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms.
