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.
When dT = Kf * molality * i
= Kf*m*i
and when molality = (no of moles of solute) / Kg of solvent
= 2.5g /250g x 1 mol /85 g x1000g/kg
=0.1176 molal
and Kf for water = - 1.86 and dT = -0.255
by substitution
0.255 = 1.86* 0.1176 * i
∴ i = 1.166
when the degree of dissociation formula is: when n=2 and i = 1.166
a= i-1/n-1 = (1.166-1)/(2-1) = 0.359 by substitution by a and c(molality) in K formula
∴K = Ca^2/(1-a)
= (0.1176 * 0.359)^2 / (1-0.359)
= 2.8x10^-3
Chemical because the propane has stored chemical energy which is being released and a by-product of that propane is heat or themal energy.

Answer:
Transition Metals
Explanation:
The elements in groups 3-12 are called Transition Metals. These groups contain metals that usually form multiple cations. All other groups on the table (1, 2, 13-18) are called Main Group Elements.
