Express your answer as a chemical formula,
• View Available Hint(s)
Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Since this compound is neutral, the total charge of the compound must equal zero. Choose the formula subscripts such that the total charge for aluminum
plus the total charge for oxygen is equal to zero.
Hint 2. Detemine the charge on the aluminum ion
By looking at the periodic table, predict the charge of the aluminum jon.
Express the charge numerically (e.g., 1+).
v View Available Hint(s)
Hint 1. lon formation
An ion is an atom that has gained or lost electrons and therefore carries a charge Atoms form ions to achieve the same number of electrons as
the nearest noble gas (rare gas)
