Silicon has four .
Silicon is element 14 in
It has two electrons in its first shell, eight electrons in the second shell, and four electrons in the third shell.
Since the electrons in the third shell are the outermost electrons, silicon has four .
The video below shows how to use the Periodic Table to determine the number of valence electrons in silicon.
