Question

atomic configuration of silicon​

Answer 1

Answer:

[ Ne] 3s square 2 3p square 2

Answer 2

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining two electrons. Therefore the Silicon electron configuration will be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2.
