Answer:
The correct answer is Hollow Sphere.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
We are usually asked to close the valve of the gas cylinder in our various kitchens at home <u>due to the inflammable property of the Liquified Petroleum Gas.</u>
<em>Without closing the valve, the LPG would diffuse into our homes, and any form of spark would cause an explosion and lead to a fire. Lives and properties could be lost in the process.</em>
The correct option is A.
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.
