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.

What elements can on with other elements to form covalent bonds
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Non metals join to form covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.

In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Rotational spectroscopy, the dipole moment must change during the transition.

Rotational Raman spectroscopy, molecule must have anisotropic polarizability

Vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, molecule must have permanent dipole moment.

Explanation:

  • For the vibration rotation spectrum to be observed, it is necessary to change the dipole moment during the vibration.
  • Raman scattering using an anisotropic crystal gives information about the orientation of the crystal. The polarization of Raman scattering light relative to the crystal, and the polarization of laser light, can be used to determine the orientation of the crystal, provided the crystal structure is known.
