Answer:
Ionic bonds result from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another
Explanation:
In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, whereas in ionic bonds atoms transfer electrons. The reaction components of covalent bonds are electrically neutral, whereas for ionic bonds they are both charged.Covalent bonds are formed between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal.
Gallum: Z = 31
electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1
Highest energy electron: 4p1
Quantum numbers:
n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.
