Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic, with no covalent component. This is never exactly true for real bonds.
The term oxidation was first used by Antoine Lavoisier to signify reaction of a substance with oxygen. Much later, it was realized that the substance, upon being oxidized, loses electrons, and the meaning was extended to include other reactions in which electrons are lost, regardless of whether oxygen was involved.

This question appears incomplete
Explanation:
There is no such element known as "Ballardium (Bu)" in the periodic table. However, there are elements with a bit of similarity in spellings and pronunciation such as Beryllium (Be) which is found in group 2 (meaning it is an alkali earth metal), Berkelium (Bk) which is an actinide (meaning it is radioactive) and Vanadium (V) which is found in group 5 of the periodic table (meaning it's a transition metal).
Si has 4 available elections. Each Cl has 7.
7 x 4 = 28 + the 4 from your Si gives the total of 32 total electrons.
John Dalton
Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
None. To bind with an hydrogem atom, the carbon needs to ''share'' one of it's valence electron's with the hydrogen's valence electron. Therefore, forming 4 bounds means the carbon atom will share it's 4 valence electrons and there will be no lone electrons.
