Write the electronic configuration of $Si$ and $Ge$.
(N/A) The atomic number of Silicon $(Si)$ is $14$. Its electronic configuration is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2$,which can also be written as $[Ne] 3s^2 3p^2$.
The atomic number of Germanium $(Ge)$ is $32$. Its electronic configuration is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^2$,which can also be written as $[Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^2$.
The atomic number of Germanium $(Ge)$ is $32$. Its electronic configuration is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^2$,which can also be written as $[Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^2 4p^2$.
