Answer:
B: +3
Explanation:
If Gallium loses 3 electrons, it will become an ion.
The ion will be positively charged because in this new ion, the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons. The charge difference will impart a positive net charge on the ion.
- In a neutral atom, the number of electrons and protons are the same.
- For positively charged ions, the number of protons is greater than the electrons
If Gallium the loss of 3 electrons offsets the charge balance in the chemical specie. Thus, the ion will have a net +3 charge.
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An atom or element which has the ability to readily gain an electron will have high electronegativity.
Both Beryllium and Calcium are alkaline earth metals and hence they are electropositive in nature.
Whereas both iodine and nitrogen are electronegative in nature. But across the period there is an increase in electronegativity and down the group there is a decrease in electronegativity.
Nitrogen belongs to period 2 and iodine belongs to the bottom of group 17. Thus, we can conclude that nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine.
