Why silicon have 4 valency and chlorine 1?

Silicon gains noble gas configuration by losing 4 electrons. Cl gain that by gaining 1 electron.

What is the atomicity of silicon?

Atomicity, what a charming old word. Used to mean either valency or the number of atoms in a molecule. For silicon the valency is 4. (where valency was the numebr of bonds that could be formed) Silicon is not molecular, it is normally encountered as a solid with a network lattice.

Do silicon is more reactive than chlorine?

No. Chlorine is more reactive than silicon. This is because Chlorine has 7 valence electrons; nearly a full outer shell, while silicon has only 4 valence electrons. An element needs 8 valence electrons to react, and Chlorine only needs one more valence electron before it can react, unlike Silicon, which needs 4.

Why the valency of Na is not 4 in NaCl crystal?

1 sodium combines with 1 chloride to form sodium chloride and so the valency is '1' and not 4...
