A nucleus of an aluminum atom must have 13 electrons because it is electrically neutral. Therefore, the nucleus would have a charge of +13.

The total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom of Al is?

The number of electrons in an aluminum atom is 13, as it has an atomic number of 13. This means that there are 13 electrons surrounding the nucleus of an aluminum atom.


How many kinds of atoms are in aluminum?

Aluminum is an element so there is only one kind of atom in it, the aluminum atom.


Why is aluminum light weight?

The nucleus of an aluminum atom weights half that of an iron atom. Not only that, but the spacing between aluminum atoms is greater (its fluffier) so the two effects make aluminum less dense.


What makes an iron atom have a greater mass than an aliminium atom?

The amount of protons in the nucleus of an iron atom is greater than in that of an aluminum atom.


Does The nucleus of an aluminum atom have a charge of plus 13 and is surrounded by a total of 13 electrons?

Aluminum's atomic number is 13, meaning it has 13 protons in the nucleus and typically 13 electrons surrounding the nucleus in a neutral atom. The protons carry a positive charge of +1 each, so the nucleus would have a net positive charge of +13.


How many electrons surround the nucleus of an atom of aluminum?

14 neutrons because the average atomic mass is about 27 and there are 13 protons.


What does 3 refer to on an aluminium atom?

The +3 on aluminum refers to its oxidation number. The oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. In this case, aluminum needs three valence electrons to form an octet (to have a total of eight valence electrons). If aluminum were to react with phosphate, PO4-3, the two would share their valence electrons and balance out, forming AlPO4.
