Question

Silicon valency is 4 why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Silicon has valency 4 because its outermost shell contain only 4 electrons.

Electronic Configuration = 2 8 4 .

Answer 2

hey it's your Answer

silicon has 4 valency because it has four electrons in valence shell..Also it is present in Group IV A of the periodic table..so it either gains four electrons to complete its octet or lose those already present electrons so it can get noble gases configuration and become stable
