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).

What causes the biggest change mass or speed?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation if an object is in motion and more force is applied to it, the object will begin moving faster. If two objects have the same mass and a greater force is applied to one of the objects, the object which receives the greater force will change speeds more quickly.:
