Answer:

Electronic configuration of Ga³⁺:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s⁰ 3d¹⁰ 4p⁰

Explanation:

Gallium is present in group 13.

It has 3 valance electrons.

Electronic configuration:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p¹

There are two possibilities of gallium to form cation.

By removing one 4p electron to form Ga +1 cation.

By removing two 4s electrons and one 4p to form Ga +3 cation.

Gallium is preset in group thirteen that's why common oxidation state is +3.

Electronic configuration of Ga⁺:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁰

Electronic configuration of Ga³⁺:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s⁰ 3d¹⁰ 4p⁰

Balance the equation. Help please!!

Artemon [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Unbalanced equation:

SiO2 + CaC2 → Si + CaO + CO2

Balanced equation:

5SiO2 + 2CaC2 → 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass.
A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
