The electron distribution in the Si atom : D. 2,8,4
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)
- K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
- L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
- M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
- N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons
Electron configuration of Si : 1s² 2s2²2p6⁶3s²3p² = 14 electron
The electron distribution :
K shell = 2
L shell = 8
M shell = 4
Just did the test.
Answer is "An egg cooking".
I thought it was a candle burning because it keeps going until the light goes out but was wrong :( lol.
Hope this helps!

Answer :
(a) Reaction at anode (oxidation) :
(b) Reaction at cathode (reduction) :
(c) 
(d) Yes, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.
Explanation :
The half reaction will be:
Reaction at anode (oxidation) :

Reaction at cathode (reduction) :

To balance the electrons we are multiplying oxidation reaction by 4 and then adding both the reaction, we get:
Part (a):
Reaction at anode (oxidation) :

Part (b):
Reaction at cathode (reduction) :

Part (c):
The balanced cell reaction will be,

Part (d):
Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.


For a reaction to be spontaneous, the standard electrode potential must be positive.
So, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.
