Condensed electron configuration of :

Ga = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p¹.

O = 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

Gallium belongs to group 13 of the periodic table with 3 valence electrons. Oxygen (Atomic number = 8 and electronic configuration = 2,6) belongs to group 16 of the periodic table with 6 valence electrons. To achieve the octet stability criteria 2 gallium atoms will donate their 3 electrons each to 3 oxygen atoms.

The 3 oxygen atoms due to their high electron attracting ability will accept those electrons resulting in Ga3+ cation and O₂⁻ anion.

Thus, the formula of their compound if Ga₂O₃.

Which is a characteristic of nuclear fusion but NOT nuclear fission?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The answer is B. is the energy source of stars.

Fission is the type of nuclear energy simulated on Earth, as it is the one used to generate electricity. Fusion, on the other hand, is much more complicated to achieve because it requires extremely hot temperatures compared to fission. Fusion involves the combination of two hydrogen atoms to make helium, which releases a lot of energy. Stars such as the sun, exhibit fusion with its very hot temperature and abundant source of hydrogen.

As a result of the gold foil experiment, it was concluded that an atom(1) contains protons, neutrons, and electrons(2) contains
grin007 [14]
The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.

What is the net charge of C
sashaice [31]

Explanation:

Sorry, I don't know, but I can tell you that when an atom, or a body, has the same amount of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons), it is said to be electrically neutral. ... The net charge corresponds to the algebraic sum of all the charges that a body possesses.

A solution has a [H3O+] of 1x 10-5 M. What is the [OH-] of the solution? (5 points)
White raven [17]

Answer:

1x10^–9 M

Explanation:

From the question given,

Concentration of hydronium ion, [H3O+] = 1x10^-5 M.

Concentration of Hydroxide ion, [OH-] =..?

The concentration of the hydroxide ion, [OH-] can be obtained as follow:

[H3O+] x [OH-] = 1x10^–14

1x10^-5 M x [OH-] = 1x10^–14

Divide both side by 1x10^-5

[OH-] = 1x10^–14 / 1x10^-5

[OH-] = 1x10^–9 M
