    b. Si has valence electrons in the n = 3 energy level.

    d. Xe has valence electrons in the n=5 energy level

    Explanation:

    A silicon atom has 14 electrons and 14 protons in its structure. Therefore it has a simple electron configuration of 2.8.4

    It therefore has 3 energy levels. The outermost 4 electrons are the valence electrons.

    A xenon has an electron configuration of 2.8.18.18.8 = 5 energy levels. The outermost 8 electrons are the valence electrons.
