Different amount of species in an area.
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.
Gold has a heavy enough nucleus that its electrons must travel at speeds nearing the speed of light to prevent them from falling into the nucleus. This relativistic effect applies to those orbitals that have appreciable density at the nucleus, such as s and p orbitals. These relativistic electrons gain mass and as a consequence, their orbits contract. As these s and (to some degree) p orbits are contracted, the other electrons in d and f orbitals are better screened from the nucleus and their orbitals actually expand.
Since the 6s orbital with one electron is contracted, this electron is more tightly bound to the nucleus and less available for bonding with other atoms. The 4f and 5d orbitals expand, but can't be involved in bond formation since they are completely filled. This is why gold is relatively unreactive.

There can only be two electrons in the innermost shell of an atom so b is the correct answer
