Question

Silicon has 4 electrons in the outer most orbit. In forming the bond:

• A. it gains electrons
• B. it looses electrons
• C. it shares electrons
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C it shares electrons

Atoms having less than 4 electrons loose their electrons, atoms having more than 4 electrons in valence shell accept no of electrons to complete their valence shell. while which has exactly half than that of the octate / 8 means which have 4 electrons in valence shell share their electrons to complete their octate
