How come the net charge of aluminum ions is plus 3 because there are-?

A neutral aluminum atom has 3 electrons in its outer shell and a full outer shell of 8 electrons below that. This full outer shell is stable, so aluminum will lose its 3 outer shell electrons to achieve that configuration.

What are correct coefficients for Na Cl?
1 because Na ions have a +1 charge while Cl ions have a -1 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.
What is the relationship of conductivity to ions in solution?
because the ions has ability to conuct the charge it carry by ion
. Aluminum (Al3 plus ) ions react with oxygen ions (O2-) to form aluminum oxide. What is the correct formula for aluminum oxide?
The Al and O must balance each other in charge, so it takes 2 Al^3+ for a total of 6+ and it takes 3 O^2- for a total of 6-. Thus, aluminum oxide has the formula of Al2O3
What is the charge on ions formed from atoms of Na?
because Na has one electron in its outer shell, the charge of the ion is Na+
An aluminum ion has a charge of what?
Aluminum ions carry a charge of three. Al3+.
What is the charge of ions of aluminum?
Aluminum has trivalent cation. It is Al3+
Aluminum ions carry a 3 plus charge and chloride ions carry a 1- charge What would be the chemical formula for aluminum chloride?
AlCl3
Which metal has a charge of plus 3?
The most familiar one is aluminum, which can form ions with a charge of plus 3, for example in compounds such as aluminum oxide.
What is the correct formula for an ionic compound that contains aluminium ions and sulfide ions?
Aluminum ions have a charge of 3+, and sulfide ions have a charge of 2- . Using the crossover method of determining the formula unit of an ionic compound gives us the formula Al2S3.
Can you use aluminum as catalyst in an alkaline fuel cell?
If you mean Aluminum metal, then answer is No. This is because aluminum will dissolve in alkali as aluminate ions.
Is when a ionic compounds form the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions true?
It is true that compounds formed from ions will form in such a way that the charges balance out and the compound has not net charge. An example might be aluminum with a plus 3 charge (Al^3+) combining with a chloride ion with a minus 1 charge (Cl^1-) to make aluminum chloride, where there will be 1 Al^3= and 3 Cl^1- to make AlCl3 (no net charge).
Which species has a negative charge?
An electron or an aluminum ion carry a negative charge.
What are correct coefficients for Na Cl?
1 because Na ions have a +1 charge while Cl ions have a -1 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.
How are the ions distinguished from one another in writing formulas for compounds?
When writing a chemical formula, you must recognize the ions which are a part of the ionic compound. To distinguish the ions from one another, you must classify the ions as the cations, the monatomic anions and polyatomic anions.
How do ions form electrically neutral compounds-?
When ions come together, they do so in a way that balances out the charges on the ions.
