Answer: The noble gas notation for silicon atom is
[Ne]3s^23p^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Noble gas notation is defined as the notation in which the configuration of an atom is written in terms of previous noble gas.

Silicon is the 14th element of the periodic table having 14 electrons.

The nearest noble gas to this element is neon.

So, the noble gas notation for silicon atom =
[Ne]3s^23p^2
