That neutral silicon atom has four electrons in its valence shell.
Silicon has a total of 10 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)
6 valence electrons
Silicon has 4 valence electrons.
Silicon has a total of 10 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
That neutral silicon atom has four electrons in its valence shell.
4 electrons in the outer shell 2-8-4 electron configuration :D
There are 27 valance electrons.
2 valance electrons
Lithium (Li) has 1 valence electron. It is in the same 'family' as Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K)
Iodine has 7 valance electrons
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.
They have different numbers of valance electrons
6 valence electrons
