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:
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.
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
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)
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.
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.
The dot structure is simply "Al" with 3 individual, un-paired dots.
It reaches the stable 8, therefore no outermost e-, It will look like this Al
This structure in this link ain't much convincing, but it helps giving ideas.

A possible Lewis structure of a molecule for which more than one Lewis structure can be written is called?
Resonance structure.
What is the Lewis dot structure for germanium?
The Lewis dot structure for germanium (Ge) is: Ge: :Ge:
Does CaCO3 have a Lewis structure?
Yes, CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) has a Lewis structure. The Lewis structure for CaCO3 shows the arrangement of all the atoms and the bonding between them using dots to represent the valence electrons.
When was Lewis structure created?
The Lewis structure was created by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. Lewis proposed using dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom in order to show how atoms bond together in molecules.
What is the total number of electrons in an Al3 plus ion?
An Al3+ ion has 13 protons, making it aluminum, and has lost 3 electrons. Since the number of electrons in a neutral aluminum atom is 13, the Al3+ ion has 10 electrons in total.
What noble gas is Al3 similar to in structure?
Aluminium (Al3+) has a similar electron configuration to the noble gas neon (Ne). Both Al3+ and Ne have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.

Chemical formula for Al3 and CH3COO?
The chemical formula for Al3 is Al3+ which represents an aluminum ion with a charge of +3. The chemical formula for CH3COO is C2H3O2-, which represents the acetate ion.
What is a synonym for Lewis diagram?
A synonym for Lewis diagram is Lewis structure. It is a schematic representation of the bonding between atoms in a molecule and the arrangement of valence electrons around atoms.
What is the name of Al3 and CN?
Al3 - Aluminum cationCN-Cyanide ion
What is the Lewis structure of La?
• •La•
In the Lewis structure of ch3oh how many lone pairs of electrons?
There are two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom in the Lewis structure of CH3OH.
Would the Lewis structure for an anion with a -1 charge contain one more electron or one less electron than the Lewis structure for the neutral species?
The Lewis structure for an anion with a -1 charge would contain one more electron than the Lewis structure for the neutral species. An anion gains an electron to achieve a stable octet and a negative charge.
