Answer:

The compound is a saturated fatty acid.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are <u>carboxylic acids with a long chain</u>, which can be 3-carbon long-chain atoms or above. According to the saturation of its bonds, they can be saturated (all single bonds) or unsaturated (mono or polyunsaturated, depending on the number of double bonds present in the molecule).

In this case, since it is a saturated fatty acid and it has 26 carbons, it is called cerotic acid, or hexacosanoic acid.

For the oxidation-reduction reaction equation given here 4ga+p4 indicate how many electrons are transferred in the formation of
sergij07 [2.7K]
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.

Lana71 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Compound. Option A is correct

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
