Name the element that has 14 electrons in its atom.

It is silicon, the second most abundant element on earth, and is an integral part of the mineral world. The stable tetrahedral configuration makes it incredibly versatile and used in many different ways in our daily lives. Found in everything from spaceships to synthetic body parts, silicon can be found all around and sometimes within us. Silicon is a crystalline semi-metal or metalloid. One of its forms is shiny, gray and very fragile (it collapses when hit with a hammer).
