    D. Silicon

    Explanation:

    A) Atomic number of He = 4

    Valence Electron configuration = 1s²

    B) Atomic number of Ba = 56

    Valence Electron configuration = 6s²

    C) Atomic number of N = 7

    Valence Electron configuration = 2s²2p³

    D) Atomic number of Si = 14

    Valence Electron configuration = 3s²3p²

    E) Atomic number of S = 16

    Valence Electron configuration = 3s²3p⁴

    Thus, silicon has 2 electrons in its outer p orbitals
