    You need to use the electron configuration, which you can do from the atomic number or search in a book or Internet.

    The atomic number of Ga is 31 and its electron configuration is:

    [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p1 ... (the numbers to the right of the letters d, s and p are superscripts)

    Every electron occupies the lowest energy level available, so the last electron, which is 4p1, is in the highest enery level.

    The number 4 indicates the shell, and the letter p is the subshell.

    Answer: subshell 4p
