Aluminum oxide typically forms in a crystal shape known as hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. This structure consists of closely-packed layers of aluminum and oxygen atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern.

What is the ratio of cations and anions for aluminum oxide known as corundum in the crystalline form?

In corundum (aluminum oxide), the ratio of aluminum cations (Al3+) to oxide anions (O2-) is 2:3. This means that there are two aluminum cations for every three oxide anions in the crystal lattice structure of corundum.


What is name of the compound Al2O3?

Al is the symbol for Aluminum and O is the symbol for oxygen. When oxygen is paired in a compound, it is changed to oxide. The name then is aluminum oxide.


Is aluminum oxide magnetic?

No, aluminum oxide is not magnetic.


What is the chemical formula for Al203?

Al2O3 is the chemical formula of aluminium oxide.


What do you get when you mix aluminum and oxygen and iron?

When you mix aluminum and oxygen, you get aluminum oxide. If you mix iron with aluminum oxide, the aluminum will react with the iron oxide, forming a thermite reaction that produces molten iron and aluminum oxide slag.


Is aluminum oxide a cation or an anion and what is the symbol?

Al2O3 - aluminum oxide (dialuminium trioxide); this oxide is not a cation or anion but a chemical molecular substance.


What do bauxite and corundum have in common?

Bauxite and corundum are both aluminum minerals. Bauxite is the primary ore of aluminum from which aluminum is extracted, while corundum is a naturally occurring crystal form of aluminum oxide known for its hardness and use in abrasives.


What is the chemical formula for aluminum oxide when heated?

Aluminum oxide is Al2O3 and when heated it is still Al2O3, so heating aluminum oxide does nothing to it.


Does aluminum plus iodine forms aluminum oxide?

Aluminum and oxygen form aluminum oxide. Aluminum and iodine form aluminum iodide.


Is hardness of magnesium oxide is greater than aluminum oxide?

yes I don't know about in normal form (like powdered), but crystal aluminium oxide is know as a sapphire(or a ruby if it has red impurities). Sapphires and Rubies have a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale (diamond is 10) they are the second hardest natural material.


Why is a considered a solution?

Because it consists of impurities (which give it the red color) spread evenly throughout an aluminum oxide crystal structure.


What do you get when you mix aluminum oxide and iron oxide?

It will form a mixture of the two compounds.
