Simple really, this is due to the fact that Aluminum is in group 3 of the Periodic Table meaning it has 3 electrons in its outer shell. Atoms strive to have a full outer shell, so the quickest way for that is to lose the 3 and get rid of that shell, where the shell below is full. As electrons have a negative charge, because the atom has lost 3 electrons, the overall charge becomes positive. 3+.
Aluminium form a cation: so the correct formula is Al3+.
The ion of aluminium is 'three plus' Symbollically 'Al^(3+)'.
The ion symbol symbol of Al could be Al---
The formulas of the most common ions of these elements are Al+3 and Cl-1.
This will depend on the valance of the aluminum ion. The phosphate ion has a -3 oxidation number (PO43-). Some compounds which could be formed: With Al (II) ion - Al3(PO4)2 With Al (III) ion - AlPO4
Aluminum loses 3 electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge losing them would make the aluminum atom lessnegative, which is positive. Hence, Al+3
The ion of aluminium is 'three plus' Symbollically 'Al^(3+)'.
An aluminum (aluminum) ion with a positive charge of three (or with three electrons stripped off).
Al+3 aluminum
The charge on aluminium is 3+ also written as Al 3+
The ion symbol symbol of Al could be Al---
The Al (aluminum) ion exists in the 3+ state.
The formulas of the most common ions of these elements are Al+3 and Cl-1.
This will depend on the valance of the aluminum ion. The phosphate ion has a -3 oxidation number (PO43-). Some compounds which could be formed: With Al (II) ion - Al3(PO4)2 With Al (III) ion - AlPO4
The difference between Al and Al+3 is that the ion has lost 3 electrons, therefore it has 3 more protons than electrons, hence granting it a charge of +3.
Aluminum loses 3 electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge losing them would make the aluminum atom lessnegative, which is positive. Hence, Al+3
The aluminum ion is Al^3+ and the sulfate ion is SO4^2-
Aluminum has trivalent cation. It is Al3+
