What is the Lewis structure for AL3?

Answer 1

Someone else answered this with :O=O-Al-Al=O:, but since 26 electrons are available, and Al doesn't have full octets, i think it's wrong. Or, just possibly, I am.

There are 24 valence electrons available. The stable oxygen ion will move to the electron configuration of the noble gas neon to gain 2- electrons. While Aluminum loss or transfer its 3+ valence electrons to also become the noble gas neon. The Octets Rule is now is play for the 24 valence electrons. :Ö =O=Al=Al=Ö:

Answer 2

Aluminum does not strictly follow the octet rule when put into a Lewis Structure. Look Below for how it is set up with two atoms of Aluminum (Al). Al = Al: It looks weird, but a bond is formed, and it is an exception to the octet and duet rules of valence electrons, as is Boron.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this is right but it should be somewhatwwhat the answer is

i have a test on this acctually in a little bit...

Al3+[F]1-

inside the brackets of flouride, around the F you'd put 8 total dots 2 on each side of the F

its a bit hard to answer this in the computer..hope it helped

Answer 4

it would be

Br

. .. ..

.Al. + .Br: ====> Br:Al:Br

``

Br

|

Al

/ \

Br Br

hybrid orbital- sp2

its shape is trigonal planar (120 degrees between the bonds). 3 bonding pairs, 0 lone pairs.

(i didn't include the valence electrons on Br, but normally you would put them there as well)

Answer 5

Aluminum phosphide has the formula AlP. The Al atom is triply bonded to the P atom which has a pair of dots on one of the unbonded sides.

Answer 6

The Lewis structure for Al3+ would show aluminum with a 3+ charge and no lone pairs. It would have three single bonds to three surrounding atoms or groups to satisfy the octet rule.

Answer 7

The dot structure is simply "Al" with 3 individual, un-paired dots.

Answer 8

It reaches the stable 8, therefore no outermost e-, It will look like this Al

Answer 9

This structure in this link ain't much convincing, but it helps giving ideas.

Answer 10

Nickel aluminium has been used as aindustry shorthand to mean an aluminium bronze alloy. Lewis dot structures are applicable to chemical compounds not alloys.
