Expert Answer
(i) (a) Gallium (b) Germanium.
(ii) 4th period.
(iii) Gallium: 13th group; Germanium: 14th group.
(iv) Gallium: Metal; Germanium: Metalloid.
(v) In the periodic table, all the elements have been divided into a few groups of elements. It is much more convenient to study the properties of a few elements of each group than to study the properties of all the elements separately.
