Answer:
[Ne] 3s² 3p²
Explanation:
Silicon atoms have 14 electrons. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral silicon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p².
Using noble gas shorthand, the electronic configuration is reduced to;
[Ne] 3s² 3p². Ne s the nearest noble gas to silicon, Ne contains 8 electrons, this means there's still 4 more electrons to fill. The s orrbital can only hold 2, hence the reaing two is transferred to the p orbital.
The answer will be 17.9 grams
Answer:
They went from atoms to oxygen molecule.
Explanation:
I'm not sure if this is the answer your teacher is looking for, but in simple terms you had 2 oxygen atoms. Together they make an oxygen molecule, which is the stuff we breathe.
