How many electrons are needed to be gained to obtain a Noble Gas Configuration for the element Al?

Aluminium should gain 5 electrons or lose 3 electrons. It will normally lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion, rather than gaining 5 electrons and forming Al5- ion.


What element forms a 3 plus ion with ten electrons?

The element that forms a 3+ ion with ten electrons is sodium (Na). Sodium has 11 protons and normally has 11 electrons, but when it loses 3 electrons to form a 3+ ion, it has a total of 10 electrons.


What is the electron configuration of the aluminum ion?

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. But the aluminium ion is lacking 3 electrons, so its electron configuration (10 e-) is as follows: 1s2 2s2 2p6 or in it abreviated form: [Ne] as it has the same number of electrons of Neon


What is an ionic compound consisting of a cation with 10 electrons and an oxyanion with 26 electrons?

The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.
