Question

How does carbon (C) differ from silicon (Si)?A. Carbon (C) has 8 more electron energy shells than silicon (Si).B. Carbon (C) has 1 less electron than silicon (Si).C. Carbon (C) has 1 less electron energy shell than silicon (Si).D. Carbon (C) has 1 more proton energy shell than silicon (Si).

Answer 1

In this question, we need to choose the option that represents one of the differences between Carbon and Silicon. Based on the answers, the only possible option will be letter C, because Carbon is located in the 2nd period and Silicon is located in the 3rd period in the periodic table, thus making Carbon to have 1 less electron energy shell than Silicon

Answer will be letter C
