How many single covalent bonds must a silicon atom form to have a complete octet in its valence shell? how many single covalent bonds must a silicon atom form to have a complete octet in its valence shell? 0 3 1 2 4?

Question 3(multiple choice worth 4 points) (04.04 lc) what does it mean when an element is reduced? it empties a valance shell, reducing its atomic radius. it gains electrons, reducing its overall charge. it increases electronegativity, reducing its ability to bond. it loses electrons, reducing its electron number.
