Answer:
When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;
1s²2s²2p⁴
The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;
The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons
Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell
When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.

The fiction is b because the terms mean subtract
Answer:
An element that is oxidized is a reducing agent, because the element loses electrons, and an element that is reduced is an oxidizing agent, because the element gains electrons.
First we need to find the number of moles that 43.9g of gallium metal is. We can do this by finding the molar weight of gallium and cross-multiplying to cancel out units:
So we are dealing with 0.63 moles of gallium metal.
We can take from the balanced equation that 4 moles of gallium metal will react completely with 3 moles of oxygen gas. We can take this ratio and make a proportion to find the amount of oxygen gas, in moles, that will react completely with 0.63 moles of gallium metal:
Cross multiply and solve for x:
So now we know that 0.47 moles of oxygen gas will react with 43.9g of gallium metal.
