The oxidation state of Ga in GaCl_{2}GaCl

2

is +2.

Explanation:

Oxidation state is defined as the state which depicts either a positive or negative number on an element.

For a compound to be neutral in nature there will occur exchange of oxidation state of the combining atoms. This will also contribute to the stability of the compound.

Gallium (Ga) can have an oxidation state of +1, +2, and +3. And, oxidation state of chlorine is -1. So, according to cross multiplication method when 2 chlorine atoms are attached to Ga then oxidation state of Ga is +2.
