B. Three are lost creating Al+3. Because atoms have and equal amount of Protons and Electons when neutral losing 3 electrons will create a positive Al ion Al+3

The answer is; B.

This is called an aluminum cation. Aluminum forms bonds with anions in which it can donate its three valence electrons so it can achieve stable electron configuration. Stable electron configuration is having 8 electron in the outer shell. By donating its 3 outer valence electrons, the aluminium will have the more stable 2.8 electron configuration. The +3 means it has lost 3 electrons hence has 3 extra protons (that are not matched by an electron) in its nucleus (also indicating its valency).

If you can smell your grandmother’s perfume from across the room, you are experiencing the result of which liquid property?

cestrela7 [59]

The appropriate answer is D. volatility. Volatility refers to the susceptibility of liquids to vaporize. Perfume is liquid when applied but because of volatility, it has a tendency to vaporize and so it will convert to a gas and diffuse across the room. The process by which a liquid changes to a vapor is called evaporation.
