Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is ![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B2%7D)
.
And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.
As 
has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of is 
.
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the ground-state ion.

To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample
of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:
</span> moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
