Well, in what Group does silicon lie on the Periodic Table?

Explanation:

Silicon is part of Group 14, .........#C,Si, Ge, Sn, Pb#. Silicon thus has FOUR valence electrons, and its chemistry closely matches that of carbon (of course the chemistry of carbon dwarfs that of silicon). There are some (well-characterized) silicon(II) compounds.
