Answer : The correct option is, Silicon (Si)

Explanation :

Element = Helium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 2

The electronic configuration will be, 1s^2

Element = Barium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 56

The electronic configuration will be, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^24d^{10}5p^66s^2

Element = Nitrogen

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 7

The electronic configuration will be, 1s^22s^22p^3

Element = Silicon

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 14

The electronic configuration will be, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^2

Element = Sulfur

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 16

The electronic configuration will be, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

From the electronic configurations, we conclude that the element silicon has two electrons in its valence 'p' orbital or outermost 'p' orbitals.

Hence, the correct option is, Silicon (Si)

Silicon (si) has two electrons in its outer p orbitals.

Explanation:

For the element of SILICON, you previously know that the atomic number shows the number of electrons. That indicates there are 14 electrons in a silicon atom. Looking at the design, you can see there are two particles in shell one, eight in shell two, and four in shell three. Si which is 4 elements from the left side of the table,first 2 electrons are s orbitals when next two electrons go to Si

lorasvet [3.4K]

In a food chain we arrange the energy in the form of a pyramid.

The producers are on the base of pyramid and then consumers are towards peak.

in the given food chain grass is being eaten by grasshopper which are food of birds.

Grasshoppers are also eaten up by Hawks. so both brids and hawks are feeding upon grasshoppers thus the amount of energy transferred from the grass to the grasshopper is the same as the amount of energy transferred from the grasshopper to the bird.

What 3 things drive the pressure of a gas up
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<h3>Density of the Gas</h3>

Explanation:

More molecules mean more hits against the container walls. Increasing the number of particles means you have increased the density of the gas. This third factor is part of the ideal gas law, which explains how these three factors -- temperature, volume and density -- interact with each other.
