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.
Answer:
C. 10
Explanation:
So wr for protons is 2 and wr for alpha particles is 20. In these terms, alpha particles cause ten times more damage then protons.

Answer:
C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2
Explanation:
Based on combined gas law, gases under the same pressure, temperature and volume have the same number of moles. With this information we can say the rigth statement is:
<h3>C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2</h3>
