Answer:
A. 1:3
Explanation:
If we look at the ions shown in the image attached to the question, we will notice that we have aluminum (Al^3+), a trivalent ion combining with the iodide ion (I^-).
Aluminum can easily give out its three outermost electrons to three atoms of iodine. If aluminum gives out its three electrons, it achieves the stable octet structure. Iodine atoms have seven electrons in their outermost shell. They only need one more electrons to complete their octet. This one electron can be gotten by the combination of three iodine atoms with one atom of aluminum. One electron each is transferred from the aluminum atom to each iodine atom to form AlI3 with a ratio of 1:3.
