ALCL3
AlCl3 1 Aluminium to 3 Chlorine atoms 1:3
One zinc atom = Zn Two chlorine atoms = Cl2 Chemical formula for zinc choride compound = ZnCl2
The gram atomic mass of aluminum is 26.9815; the gram atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453; and the formula of aluminum chloride is AlCl3, showing that three atoms of chlorine are required for each atom of aluminum in the compound. Therefore, mass ratio of chlorine to aluminum in the compound is [3 X (35.453])/26.9815 or 3.942. The ratio of reactant chlorine stated to be available to reactant aluminum stated to be available is 29.0/24.0 or 1.20, so that chlorine is clearly the limiting reactant. Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that can be made from the reactants stated is 29.0/3.942 or about 7.357 grams, and that added to the stated 29.0 g of chlorine constitutes 36.4 grams total of aluminum chloride, to the justified number of significant digits.
The formula for the compound aluminum sulfide is Al2S3. Each Al2S3 molecule contains 2 aluminum atoms and 3 sulfur atoms.
In magnesium chloride, MgCl2, there are two chlorine atoms for every magnesium atom as chlorine is found as a compound.
The formula would be AlCl3, which is aluminum chloride.

The chemical formula of zinc chloride is ZnCl2.
Definitely a compound, because it contains two elements viz. copper and chlorine. NB When any two ( or more ) elements combine it becomes a compound.
Chlorine is an element, not a compound. Moreover, its a diatomic molecule, that is, a molecule of chlorine contains two atoms of chlorine.
Depending on the formula of the chemical compound containing aluminium.
The gram atomic mass of aluminum is 26.9815; the gram atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453; and the formula of aluminum chloride is AlCl3, showing that three atoms of chlorine are required for each atom of aluminum in the compound.

Tetra stands for four. So there are four chlorine atoms in a tetrachloride.
Deca stands for 10. So there are ten chlorine atoms is decachloride.
The formula for the compound aluminum sulfide is Al2S3. Each Al2S3 molecule contains 2 aluminum atoms and 3 sulfur atoms.
In magnesium chloride, MgCl2, there are two chlorine atoms for every magnesium atom as chlorine is found as a compound.
