Silicon has a total of 10 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
Take carbon as an example.Carbon, indicated by it's atomic number, has 6 electrons. The number at the top of carbon's group is the number of valance electrons. Carbon has 4 valance elections.6 total electrons - 4 valance electrons= 2 core electrons in carbon=====================(try another element yourself to see this process )
Sulfur. It has six valence electrons. These six electrons plus the ten core electrons, 16, the atomic number (number of electrons or the number of protons [they are an equal amount because the positive and negative charges have to cancel each other out]). It is sulfur.
The core electron configuration of sulfur is [Ne] 3s^2 3p^4, where [Ne] represents the electron configuration of the noble gas neon. This indicates that sulfur has a full 3s subshell and 4 electrons in the 3p subshell within its core electron configuration.
Lead has 4 valence electrons.
Silicon has a total of 10 core electrons and 4 valence electrons.
Germanium (Ge) Atomic Number- 32 Atomic Mass-72.59
In germanium, the number of core electrons is equal to the number of electrons in its inner shells. The electron configuration of germanium is [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2, where [Ar] represents the electron configuration of argon. Therefore, germanium has 18 core electrons.
Hexane has 42 electrons. Each carbon atom in hexane has 6 electrons (4 valence electrons and 2 core electrons), and each hydrogen atom has 1 electron.
Calcium is in group 2, period 4 of the periodic table. It has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2. This shows us that 4 is its valence shell. Therefore, the other 3 shells are its core shells.
Silicon is the group 4, period 3 metalloid. It's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. Thus it has 2 electrons in its first shell, 8 in its second, and 4 in its third.
4 electrons, 2 valence electrons
Sn (tin) has 50 electrons 50 protons and 69 nuetrons
Take carbon as an example.Carbon, indicated by it's atomic number, has 6 electrons. The number at the top of carbon's group is the number of valance electrons. Carbon has 4 valance elections.6 total electrons - 4 valance electrons= 2 core electrons in carbon=====================(try another element yourself to see this process )
Sulfur. It has six valence electrons. These six electrons plus the ten core electrons, 16, the atomic number (number of electrons or the number of protons [they are an equal amount because the positive and negative charges have to cancel each other out]). It is sulfur.
Helium-4 has 2 electrons.
Sn has 50 total electrons and is in the Group 4a elements on the periodic table. The nearest Noble Gas that is before Sn is Kr, which has 36 electrons. Therefore, the number of inner electrons (the same as Kr's electrons) is 36, outer electrons is 4 and valence is 4 as well (because its a Group 4a
