GaP is a semiconductor useful in the electronics industry. It has an indirect bandgap of 2.24 eV at room temperature. Propose a synthesis for GaP starting from calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2. You can use any non-phosphorous containing reagents throughout your synthesis. Ensure that all reactions are balanced. Explain which form of phosphorus, red or white, would be combined with Ga and how it would be synthesized.
