1 mol of Silicon = 28.0855 g (in average)
then
1 mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms
then
28.0855/(6.022*10^23) g/atom
4.66381*10^-23 g per atom
ADD THEM all, and then divide by four. Thats what I would do!
Answer: 8 electrons
Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.
Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.
Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.
I just wanna know what does that even mean
