The electronic structure of aluminium is:<span> 1s22s22p6</span>3s23p1.<span> There are </span>3<span> electrons in the outer n = </span>3<span> level and so these are the valence electrons. The number of unpaired electrons that you would expect on aluminum would be three and this is what bonds with the oxide ion in aluminum oxide. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer: There are 3 unpaired electrons on aluminium in aluminium oxide.    

Explanation:

Chemical formula of aluminium oxide is Al_{2}O_{3}.

The atomic number of aluminium is 13 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{1}. In order to complete its octet, aluminium will lose or donate 3 electrons to the oxygen atom as it has 3 electrons in excess.

Thus, there are three unpaired electrons on one aluminium atom.

Since, there are two aluminium atoms in Al_{2}O_{3}, so, there will be in total 6 unpaired electrons on two aluminium atoms. Whereas each oxygen atom has deficiency of 2 electrons so, each aluminium atom will donate its excess of electrons to each oxygen atom.

Hey there!

Your answer is B. CO₂.

This molecule consists of two polar bonds, but they cancel each other out because they are pointing away from each other.

Because the forces of the bonds cancel out, the molecule itself is nonpolar.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Over the last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.  as u know decreasing means going down and increasing means going up.  the reason why things decrease means something went wrong or something to happen to make it go down we all try to make things increase which means we try to make things go up instead of down. a lot of reasons is y things decrease is bc during the period of time something might go wrong or happen in a bad way that makes a lot of things decrease. for example like temperature when the temperature decreases it means it goes down and it might get cold but if the temperature increases it goes up so it might be ht or warm or maybe even cool. if something ever decreases it means during the period of time something bad happened and made it go down instead of up if something ever goes wrong that means something decreased. sometimes decreasing could be a good thing but most of the time it it bad  but there are sometimes when decreasing is good but not all the time.
