MCQ
Silicon has $4$ electrons in the outermost orbit. In forming the bonds
- AIt gains electrons
- BIt loses electrons
- ✓It shares electrons
- DNone of these
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
It shares electrons
c
To complete an octet, silicon requires $4$ more electrons. So, in bonding, it shares its electrons. Removing $4$ electrons from silicon is difficult.
