Question

What is the electron configuration of (Si) in noble gas notation

Answer 1

Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, and lead are below it.

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Answer 2

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining two electrons. Therefore the Silicon electron configuration will be 1s²2s²2p^63s²3p². The configuration notation provides an easy way for scientists to write and communicate how electrons are arranged around the nucleus of an atom.
