because of supply and demand,. Supply is limited because it is not only a comparatively rare element but the extraction is expensive. Demand has grown because the compounds gallium nitride, gallium phosphide

are used in electronic devices

Which element does gallium have more in common with germanium or indium?

Gallium has more in common with indium. Both gallium and indium are part of the same group on the periodic table, Group 13 (or Group IIIA), so they share similar chemical properties and trends. Germanium, on the other hand, is in Group 14 and therefore differs in its properties from gallium.


What is the ionic compound for GAAs?

Which is bigger aluminum or gallium?

Gallium's radius is slightly than Aluminum's because Gallium has more protons than Aluminum. It sounds crazy because Gallium has more shells but u have to take into consideration that Aluminum's excited electrons actually spread through the d orbital making the radius bigger. Gallium on the other hand, has more protons, so when his excited electrons spread out it results in a lesser radius because the attraction between the protons and electrons are much bigger. It is confusing because he has a 4th shell with electrons, but since there are only 3 outer electrons (4s2 and 4p1), u can neglect it because of the big attraction of the nucleus. I hope this helped.


How many valence electrons are there in an atom of gallium?

Gallium is a mono-atomic metal element. So their atoms are atoms, and as many as you have!


How many grams of gallium carbonate to make 55 moles of gallium oxide?
