This educational tool aims to assist students in understanding the concept of counting valence electrons in ions, specifically for Gallium ion \( \text{Ga}^{3+} \).
To answer the question, students need to first be aware of the electron configuration of Gallium (Ga) and then adjust for the 3+ charge indicating the loss of three electrons.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4cb3c08b-867c-49fa-a9fe-3ee9eddee973%2F34646970-5b4c-4042-844e-e0a07217b01b%2Fuutbfz_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
