Answer:
The electronic configuration of the element is-K=2, L=8,m=4. According to the electronic configuration the valency is +4 or -4 because silicon can either gain 4 electrons or lose 4 electrons because it is a noble gas. Hence valency of silicon is 4.

Answer:
The valency is the combining capacity of an atom. ... The valency is equal to the number of electrons in the outermost shell (valence shell) of an atom. For example, silicon (atomic number 14) has the following electronic distribution: K = 2, L = 8, M = 4.
