Aluminium trichloride has 4 atoms in the formula unit.
Under IUPAC naming conventions, AlCl3 is called aluminum chloride. It is also commonly called aluminum trichloride and aluminum (III) chloride.
Silver chloride (AgCl) is the most stable compound out of the ones listed. This is because silver (Ag) is a transition metal with a filled d orbital, which contributes to its stability compared to the other compounds. The other compounds listed (CuCl2, AlCl3, LiCl) are less stable due to the electronic configuration and charge distribution of their respective elements.
No. It is quite difficult for elements to change into new elements.
