What is the electron configuration of silicon?

The element silicon (atomic number 14) has the following electron configuration :

- Full configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p² - Compressed (without all standard script numbers): 1s² 2s²p⁶ 3s²p²

- Noble Gas form : [Ne] 3s² 3p² / [Ne] 3s²p² (this works because [Ne] symbolizes the electronic configuration of Neon, which is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶. When added to 3s²p², it is equivalent to the full electron configuration of Silicon, when neutral.)
