3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.

In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).

Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.

Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.

Mass = 200.0 g volume = 100.0cm3 What is the density?
Marianna [84]
The density of an object is defined as its mass divided by its volume. Mathematically, density = Mass / Volume. The unit of density is kilogram per cubic meter, kg / m^3 or g /cm^3.
For the question given above: the 
Mass = 200.0 g
Volume = 100.0 cm^3
Therefore, Density = Mass / Volume = 200 / 100  = 2
Thus,  the density of the object is 2 g /cm^3.

What does the chemical formula CaCl, show about the compound it represents? It is made up of one element. It is made up of two e
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

It is made up of two elements.

Explanation:

To answer the question given above,

We shall determine the number of elements present in CaCl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

CaCl₂ contains calcium (Ca) and chlorine gas (Cl₂).

This implies that CaCl₂ contains two different elements.

Now, considering the options given in the question above, CaCl₂ is made up of two elements.
