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:
the surface tension of H20 is 72 dynes/cm at 25°C
Answer : The correct option is, (3) change states of matter.
Explanation :
Latent heat : It is defined as the heat required to convert the solid into liquid or vapor and a liquid into a vapor without changing the temperature.
There are two types of latent heat.
(1) Latent heat of fusion
(2) Latent heat of vaporization
Latent heat of fusion : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the solid converted to liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point.
Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.
Hence, latent heat is used to change states of matter.
Answer: An Element
Explanation:
An element is a substance that cannot be split into smaller substance. It is made up of one kind of atom and can exist either as molecules (e.g nitogen) or an atom (e.g argon).
Answer:
The atomic number equals the charge on the nucleus. It therefore also equals the number of protons in the nucleus and also equals numerically the number of electrons in the neutral atom. i think so, hope this helps you
