Since the 3s if now full we"ll move to the 3p where we"ll place the remaining two electrons. We"ll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. You are watching: Electron configuration for a neutral atom of siliconĪlso, how many unpaired electrons are found in the ground state electron configuration of silicon?įurthermore, how do you find the electron configuration of silicon? The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. Therefore, it would have enough electrons to fill up till its 3p shell. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, so a neutral silicon atom would have 14 electrons.
