How many valence electrons are in the element gallium? explain how you determined the number.

Gallium has three valence electrons.

Elements in the periodic table are classified into groups and periods. Elements in a given group have the same number of valence electrons on their outermost shell while the elements in a period have the same number of shells.

All the elements in group 13 have three electrons in their outermost shell. Gallium is an element of group 13. This means that gallium also has three electrons in its outermost shell(valence electrons).

three valence electrons

Explanation:

Gallium has three electrons in the outer energy level and therefore has three valence electrons. The identification of valence electrons is vital because the chemical behavior of an element is determined primarily by the arrangement of the electrons in the valence shell.
