Question

the number of electrons in the penultimate shell of silicon

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The last shell or the outer most shell from the nucleus is called the valence shell. The shell inner to this is called the inner shell or penultimate shell and the one inner to penultimate shell is called the innermost or anti-penultimate shell.

If ‘n’ is the valence shell then (n-1) is the penultimate shell & (n-2) is the anti-penultimate shell.

there are 14 electrons in a silicon atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one, eight in shell two, and four in shell three.

plz mark me brainliest

Answer 2

there will be 8 electrons in the penultimate shell of silicon.
