Kanika there is no solution for this.

Its simply architecture theory like earth revolves around the sun.

Its universal truth.

Based on electronic configuration. Silicon - 1s2.2s2.2p6.3s2.3p2.

From this no.of valence electrons is 4.

Deepak said:   1 decade ago
Semiconductor material which comes in 4th group of periodic table i.e. have 4 free (valance) electron.

Since, silicon and germanium are single element semiconductors, they have an outermost electrons of 4.

4 it is!
Here single element semiconductor means pure semiconductor.

The Single Element means Made by only Si or Ge. Not Combined.

I didn't get you it would be helpful if you could explain it.

This is not a single. It is silicon element semiconductor.

Joysly said:   1 decade ago
For silicon and germanium, the outermost electrons are 4.

Niranjan said:   1 decade ago
What does it mean that single element semiconductor ?
