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

Which atom or ion is the largest? A. K B. K+ C. Ca D. Ca2+ E. Li

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. K

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the trends in the Periodic Table:

Atomic radii decrease from left to right across a Period.
Atomic radii increase from top to bottom in a Group.
Ionic radii of metal cations are smaller than those of their atoms.

Thus, the largest atoms are in the lower left corner of the Periodic Table.

The diagram below shows that K is closest to the lower left, so it is the largest atom. It is also larger than any of the cations.

Tell me a hypothesis for the corrosion experiment for iron nails?

Nastasia [14]

The more acidic the substance is, the more the iron nails will corrode (this obviously depends on what your experiment is but hope this helped in some way)
