'Density' is defined as (mass) / (volume). You need enough information to be able to measure or calculate the mass and the volume of the object.
Answer:
single replacement reaction
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.
This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
The aluminum atom_loses_____electrons to form an ion.
The ion that is formed is_Al³⁺_____.
aluminium has the electronic configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
from the electronic configuration , we see that aluminium can attain stability by losing 3 electrons from outer shell.
after losing 3 electrons , the ion formed is given as Al³⁺
hence the correct options to fill in the blanks are lose and Al³⁺
