Aluminum loses three electrons to have a full valence shell. Oxygen gains two electrons to have a full valence shell. Aluminum Oxide is shown as Al2O3 because there are three oxygen atoms with a total of 6 gained electrons. Two Aluminum atoms lose 6 electrons and three Oxygen atoms gain six. This is the balance between aluminum and oxygen.

What happens when aluminium and oxygen combine?
A passive aluminum oxide layer will form on the surface of the aluminum, when it is in the presence of Oxygen (Al2O3). This then goes on to protect the rest of the aluminum from further oxidisation as the layer will remain in place, bonded to the aluminum.
What is the chemical formula of aluminum peroxide?
Aluminum peroxide is a compound of aluminium and oxygen with the chemical formula AlO3Aluminum oxide is Al2O3 (the most common oxide)Aluminium(I) oxide is Al2O
How many oxygen atoms are there in the formula for aluminum nitrate?
The formula for aluminum nitrate is Al(NO3)3, so there are 9 oxygen atoms. Multiply the number of oxygen atoms inside the parentheses times the subscript outside the parentheses.
What is oxygen and aluminum formula?
No, it is Aluminium(III) oxide, not dioxide:2 Al + 3 O2 ----> 2 Al2O3
What word equation is formed when you burn aluminum?
Burning of aluminum in oxygen (air): 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

How many oxygen atoms are in aluminum chromate?
The formula for aluminum chromate is Al2(CrO4)3, so there are 12 oxygen atoms. Multiply the number of oxygen atoms inside the parentheses times the subscript outside the parentheses.

What is the name for aluminum oxide?
Aliminium 2 Oxygen 3 AL2O3 hope that answers your question
Is aluminium oxide mixture element or compound?

When aluminum combines with oxygen three oxygen atoms combine with this many aluminum atoms?
There are 13 protons in aluminum and 13 electrons. So, there are 13 atoms in aluminum. In oxygen, there are 8 protons and 8 electrons. thus there are 8 atoms. EDIT: This answer is absolutely and completely incorrect. (Dr.J.)
What is the change in oxidation number of aluminum in the reaction of aluminum with oxygen gas to make aluminum oxide?
From '0' to '3'. Elemental aluminium is in oxidation state zero (0). When it combines with oxygen to form aluminium oxide , it 'looses' its three outermost electrons to oxygen. Hence aluminium metal becomes the aluminium cation (Al^3+), which is oxidation state '3'.
. 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
How many atoms does sodium oxide have?
The chemical formula for sodium oxide is Na2O (with the '2' written in subscript). So in one formula unit of sodium oxide, there is one sodium and two oxygen. 1 mole of sodium oxide would have 3 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.81 x 10^24 atoms.Sodium oxide is made of sodium and oxygen atoms. The chemical formula of it is Na2O. There are 3 atoms in 1 molecule of Na2O.
