Answer:

            Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.

Explanation:

                   Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.

                   Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;

                                              1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²

In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.

1.50μm2. Convert this to square meters.
mars1129 [50]
Based on the standards of units conversion, to convert from micrometer to meter, we multiply by 10^-6.
Since we there is a square (10^2) to consider, then to convert from micrometer squared to meter squared, we will multiply by (10^-6)^2 as follows:
1.5 <span>μm2 = 1.5 x (10^-6)^2 = 1.5 x 10^-12 meter sqaures</span>
