[In this question, there are multiple answers to type in a "fill-in-the-blank" fashion - in each case, type in a whole number.] Consider using Slater's Rules to calculate the shielding factor (S) for the last electron in silicon (Si). There will be electrons with a 0.35 S-multiplier, electrons with a 0.85 S-multiplier, and electrons with a 1.00 S-multiplier.
Provide the unknown for the given data.
