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

Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Scientific evidences abound of the occurrence of plastic pollution, from mega- to nano-sized plastics, in virtually all matrixes of the environment. Apart from the direct effects of plastics and microplastics pollution such as entanglement, inflammation of cells and gut blockage due to ingestion, plastics are also able to act as vectors of various chemical contaminants in the aquatic environment. This paper provides a review of the association of plastic additives with environmental microplastics, how the structure and composition of polymers influence sorption capacities and highlights some of the models that have been employed to interpret experimental data from recent sorption studies. The factors that influence the sorption of chemical contaminants such as the degree of crystallinity, surface weathering, and chemical properties of contaminants. and the implications of chemical sorption by plastics for the marine food web and human health are also discussed. It was however observed that most studies relied on pristine or artificially aged plastics rather than field plastic samples for studies on chemical sorption by plastics.
