A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />
From the equation;
4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3
The mole ratio of Oxygen is to Aluminium hydroxide is 3:2.
Therefore; moles of Al2O3 is
(0.5/3 )× 2 = 0.333 moles
Therefore; The moles of aluminium oxide will be 0.333 moles
Answer:
D: lose an electron
Explanation:
when an atom loses an electron it's positively charged and when it gain an electron it is negatively charged
