How many valence electrons are in a silicon atom?
Naomi AronsonSilicon has four valence electrons.
Silicon is element 14 in the Periodic Table
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 valence electrons.
The video below shows how to use the Periodic Table to determine the number of valence electrons in silicon.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
