The reaction given is:
4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP
The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.
The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.
Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.
And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:
Ga (0) - 3 e- ----> Ga (3+)
P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)
So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.
Answer: 3 electrons.
D) The broadest group of organization is known as the domain.
Valency- it means the combing capacity if an element.
<span> radical- it is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired valence electrons or an open electron shell.

Answer:
In diagram you have to show the electrons(dots) near to the more electronegative element by this you can show that this is an ionic bond.
Explanation:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can simply be transformed from one form to another.
For example, 
Mass of Na = 23 g/mol
Mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol
Sum of mass of reactants = mass of Na + mass of Cl
= 23 + 35.5 g/mol
= 58.5 g/mol
Mass of product formed is as follows.
Mass of NaCl = mass of Na + mass of Cl
= (23 g/mol + 35.5) g/mol
= 58.5 g/mol
As mass reacted is equal to the amount of mass formed. This shows that mass is conserved.
As a result, law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
