Because Aluminium has valence shell electronic configuration of 3s2 3p1 This indicates it has 3 valence electrons and so, it has to loose 3 electrons to gain stability, . Aluminum has 13 protons(+ve charge) and 13 electrons(-ve charge) and after poising 3 electrons it's net charge becomes 13 - 10 that is + 3 .

What is the charge on an ion for aluminum?
Aluminum has trivalent cation. It is Al3+
What would happen if a proton was added to a aluminum atom?
If a proton were added to an atom of aluminum, the atom would become a silicon ion with a single positive charge.
Why does it take 3 chloride ions to balance 1 aluminum ion in the formula AlCl3?
Aluminium has the charge 3+, it is trivalent.
Could plus 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding three protons to an aluminum atom?
The difference between Al and Al+3 is that the ion has lost 3 electrons, therefore it has 3 more protons than electrons, hence granting it a charge of +3.
What is an ion charge?
This is the electrical charge of the ion.
An aluminum ion has a charge of what?
Aluminum ions carry a charge of three. Al3+.
What is the ion charge number of aluminum?
3+
What is the oxidation number of an Aluminum ion?
Whatever the charge on that ion is.
What is the charge on aluminum ion?
The charge on aluminium is 3+ also written as Al 3+
What charge is most commin for the ion Al?
The Al (aluminum) ion exists in the 3+ state.
What is the product of aluminum and sulfur in a synthesis reaction?
Aluminum Sulfide (Al2S3). This is because Aluminum makes a +3 charge ion and Sulfur makes a 2- ion. Thus, the 2 and 3 for each balance it out to a net charge of 0.
When an aluminum atom loses it's valence electrons what is the charge on the resulting ion?
Aluminum loses 3 electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge losing them would make the aluminum atom lessnegative, which is positive. Hence, Al+3
What is the charge on an ion for aluminum?
Aluminum has trivalent cation. It is Al3+
What is the charge in a chloride ion?
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.
What symbol is this Al plus 3?
An aluminum (aluminum) ion with a positive charge of three (or with three electrons stripped off).
Is aluminum chloride Al3Cl2?
No. Since the chloride ion has a 1- charge such a ratio is not possible. The formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3.
What element form an ion that has a 3 charge andthat is used as wrapping for leftovers?
aluminum
