Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.
Answer:
Al₂(SO₄)₃ and Na
Explanation:
Al has a charge of +3, Na has a charge of +1 and SO₄ has a charge of -2. Since cations and anions will bond we know that Al will bond with SO₄ leaving Na by itself (since this is a single replacement reaction). When Al bonds with SO₄ it makes aluminum sulfate which is Al₂(SO₄)₃ and Na will be left by itself.
