Well, if you're asking about valence electrons, there are 3. Otherwise, there are a total of 13 electrons in a neutral Aluminum atom Electron Configuration [Al]: 2 - 8 - 3

What element forms a 3 plus ion with ten electrons?
Aluminium, Al
How many ions in aluminum?
I do not understand the question Aluminium forms the Al3+ ion Aluminium is a metal and one description of metal bonding is that metals are latttices of ions surrounded by electrons.
How many valence electrons are in an atom of aluminium?
3 valence electrons.
What does the term polarising power of a cation mean?
Polarizing power: Polarising power is the ability of an atom or group of atoms to attract the shared pair of electrons toward itself. For example: If you have aluminium chloride.... the aluminium ion has a 3+ charge and is relatively small. The chlorine ion has a 1- charge and is larger than the aluminium ion. As a result...the aluminium ion has a higher charge density (i.e. a stronger attraction) and so attracts the shared pair of electrons (between the chlorine and aluminium) towards itself. we say aluminium has high polarising power because of its ability to do this. And the chlorine is easily polarised because the electrons get taken away from it.
How many electrons does a aluminum atom lose to form an ion?
an aluminum atom will lose the 3 electrons on its outer shell 2 for an aluminum ion.
What does an aluminum atom become when it loses its three valence electrons?
It would become an Aluminum ion that has a 3+ charge
What element forms a 3 plus ion with ten electrons?
Aluminium, Al
What is the formula of the ion that has 13 protons and 10 electrons?
Aluminium 3+(Al3+)
How does alluminum get its oxidation number?
Aluminium emit 3 electrons. It makes aluminium ion.
How many ions in aluminum?
I do not understand the question Aluminium forms the Al3+ ion Aluminium is a metal and one description of metal bonding is that metals are latttices of ions surrounded by electrons.
How many electrons are in aluminium?
The neutral atom of aluminium has 13 electrons.
How many electrons are needed to be gained to obtain a Noble Gas Configuration for the element Al?
Aluminium should gain 5 electrons or lose 3 electrons. It will normally lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion, rather than gaining 5 electrons and forming Al5- ion.
How many valence electrons are in an atom of aluminium?
3 valence electrons.
What is the electron configuration of the aluminum ion?
The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. But the aluminium ion is lacking 3 electrons, so its electron configuration (10 e-) is as follows: 1s2 2s2 2p6 or in it abreviated form: [Ne] as it has the same number of electrons of Neon

How many electrons does a aluminum atom lose to form an ion?
an aluminum atom will lose the 3 electrons on its outer shell 2 for an aluminum ion.
What is an ionic compound consisting of a cation with 10 electrons and an oxyanion with 26 electrons?
The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.
