Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

If you look at aluminum (Al) in the Periodic Table of the Elements, you will see that its electron configuration is 2-8-3.  The last number indicates the valence shell, which contains three electrons.

The answer is (3) 3. The outer shell of an atom is called valence shell. And the ground state is the lowest energy state of an atom. Aluminum has a electron distribution of 2, 8, 3. So the outer shell has 3 electrons.

The ionic equation for MgCl2 and KOH.
saw5 [17]
The reaction of Mg Cl2 and KOH can be described as a double substitution type of reaction. This means the cations of the reactants are exchanged in places when the products are formed. In this case, the balanced reaction is expressed
MgCl2 (s) + 2KOH (aq) = Mhg (OH)2 (aq) + 2KCl (s)
