Answer: 3d
Explantion:
1) Period 4 contains the elements with atomic numbers 19 through 36.
2) The elements with atomic numbers 19 (K) and 20 (Ca) fill the orbital 4s.
3) After that, as Aufbau's rule may help you to remember, the energy of the orbitals 3d is lower than the energy of the orbtitals 4p. So, the element 21 (Sc) start fillind the orbital 3d.
There are ten 3d orbitals, so the elements 21 through 30 fill the 3d orbitals.
Those elements, called transition metals are: Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn.
When the 3d orbitals are full, the next elements in the same period 4, fill the six 4p orbitals.
The most common reaction that causes spoilage isn't a reaction at all. Molds and Bacteria are attracted to the easily found presence of water in the fruit. They find a natural place to reproduce and what they do causes spoilage.
Very few sources talk about the chemical changes that take place. If you put fruit in a refrigerator it slows the spoiling process down. That means that the chemical reaction has to be endothermic (it requires heat to occur)
The process of spoilage is speeded up by bananas for example, giving up Ethylene gas. You do not want to put a banana with tomatoes, because tomatoes are very sensitive to Ethylene. (It's OK to eat them together. They make a terrific salad. Yum).
I cannot find a definitive source that connects all this together, but the conduct of the fruit in refrigerators confirms what I am saying.
Spoilage is a very complex reaction and interaction with the environment. I have given you a hint of what happens but you should search it out to convince yourself of the outcome.
The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.
<u>Answer:</u> The electronic configuration of gallium is written below and number of valence electrons is 3.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.
Valence electrons are defined as the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.
We are given:
An element Gallium having atomic number as 31.
Number of electrons = 31
Electronic configuration of Gallium is: 
This element has 3 electrons in its outermost shell. So, the number of valence electrons is 3
Hence, the electronic configuration of gallium is written below and number of valence electrons is 3.
