Answer:
isotopes, there elements with a diffrent type atomic weight then the original, usally due to a higher amout of neutrons than the original. Some Isotopes are just as useable as the normal versions, but in some cases, such as Uranium, they can be even more radioactive than the original form
Answer:
has 4 electrons in its valence shell.
Explanation:
Silicon has 14 protons, so its neutral atom has also 14 electrons, thus, the electron distribution following the Linus Pauling's diagram is:
1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p²
Thus, it has 4 electrons in its valence shell (3), likely carbon. So, silicon would have some of the properties of carbon, such as form 4 bonds, and the structure would be similar.
