The charge on a chloride ion in any ionic compound is -1. AlCl3 is usually considered an ionic compound, although it has some covalent character in its bonds also. If the compound is considered covalent, the characteristic number for a particular atom within the compound is usually called "oxidation number" or sometimes "formal charge" instead of simply "charge", but that is also -1.
The charge in the chloride ion is always 1-.
Chloride ion in AlCl3 has a charge of -1. The compound AlCl3 is aluminum chloride, which is an inorganic compound that can react with water.
No. Since the chloride ion has a 1- charge such a ratio is not possible. The formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3.
The chloride ion carries a -1 charge.

Chloride ion in AlCl3 has a charge of -1. The compound AlCl3 is aluminum chloride, which is an inorganic compound that can react with water.
No. Since the chloride ion has a 1- charge such a ratio is not possible. The formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3.
For any chloride ion the charge is ALWAYS '-1' So in AlCl3 can be split into its ions as 'A;l^(3+). and 3 Cl^(-)' Note the charges MUST balance. the '3+' is balanced by three lots of (-).
Aluminium has the charge 3+, it is trivalent.
Surely meant: AlCl3 for aluminum chloride
The chloride ion carries a -1 charge.

The chemical formula of aluminium chloride is AlCl3.
AlCl3 is the compound aluminum chloride.
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.
