Question

what Is the noble gas configuration for silicon

Answer 1

2 ,8 ,4 is the answer

Answer 2

Electrons fill orbitals in pairs from closest to the nucleus outward according to energy level. The configuration for silicon is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2.

Silicon is not a noble gas, but its configuration can be shown using a noble gas. To write a configuration using a noble gas, you create a shortened version. In order to do this, you must refer back to the noble gas previous to the element you are working on.
