What is the Lewis structure for AL3?

Answer 1

Someone else answered this with :O=O-Al-Al=O:, but since 26 electrons are available, and Al doesn't have full octets, i think it's wrong. Or, just possibly, I am.

There are 24 valence electrons available. The stable oxygen ion will move to the electron configuration of the noble gas neon to gain 2- electrons. While Aluminum loss or transfer its 3+ valence electrons to also become the noble gas neon. The Octets Rule is now is play for the 24 valence electrons. :Ö =O=Al=Al=Ö:

Answer 2

Aluminum does not strictly follow the octet rule when put into a Lewis Structure. Look Below for how it is set up with two atoms of Aluminum (Al). Al = Al: It looks weird, but a bond is formed, and it is an exception to the octet and duet rules of valence electrons, as is Boron.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this is right but it should be somewhatwwhat the answer is

i have a test on this acctually in a little bit...

Al3+[F]1-

inside the brackets of flouride, around the F you'd put 8 total dots 2 on each side of the F

its a bit hard to answer this in the computer..hope it helped

Answer 4

it would be

Br

. .. ..

.Al. + .Br: ====> Br:Al:Br

``

Br

|

Al

/ \

Br Br

hybrid orbital- sp2

its shape is trigonal planar (120 degrees between the bonds). 3 bonding pairs, 0 lone pairs.

(i didn't include the valence electrons on Br, but normally you would put them there as well)

Answer 5

Aluminum phosphide has the formula AlP. The Al atom is triply bonded to the P atom which has a pair of dots on one of the unbonded sides.

Answer 6

The dot structure is simply "Al" with 3 individual, un-paired dots.

Answer 7

It reaches the stable 8, therefore no outermost e-, It will look like this Al

Answer 8

This structure in this link ain't much convincing, but it helps giving ideas.

Answer 9

Nickel aluminium has been used as aindustry shorthand to mean an aluminium bronze alloy. Lewis dot structures are applicable to chemical compounds not alloys.
