Based on silicon's position on the periodic table, it has

A. 14 valence electrons distributed over three energy levels.
B. 14 electrons, which include 10 valence electrons in the second energy level and 4 electrons in the first energy level.
C. 14 electrons, which include 2 valence electrons in the third energy level and 12 electrons distributed over the first two energy levels.
D. 14 electrons, which include 4 valence electrons in the third energy level and 10 electrons distributed over the first two energy levels.

Answer 1

D. Since it's atomic # is 14 it has 14 electrons and it has 4 valance electrons because it is 4 over.
