Answer: through their valence electrons

Explanation: It is important to know first that the valence electrons are what is involved in bonding.

Fluorine is group 7(halogens) and have 7 electrons. All members of this groups have 7 valence electron each e.g Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine

Aluminum is in group 3 and has 3 valence electrons.

Elements bonds to attain the duplet (2 electron maximum) and octet (8 electron maximum) electronic configuration which is the stable state.

Fluorine requires one electron to attain the octet state while aluminum need to give out 3 electrons to attain the octet state.

So Aluminum will just give out the 3 electrons to 3 fluorine atoms. One electron to each of them and they will both be stable. Simplified below;

Al + 3F - AlF3

Answer :

Explanation :

The aluminium and fluorine react to give ionic compound aluminium fluoride.

Aluminium has 1 valence electrons in their shell and fluorine has 7 valence electrons in their shell.

For the complete octet, both aluminium and fluorine exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.

The aluminium donates its three valence electrons to three fluorine atoms and they form one Al^{3+} and three F^- ions.

"what is the concentration of positive charge and mass in rutherford's atomic model called?"
Tamiku [17]
The concentration of positive charge and mass in Rutherford's atomic model is called the nucleus. Rutherford's experiments involving the use of alpha particle beams directed onto thin metal foils demonstrated the existence of the nucleus. The nucleus of an atom contains positively charge particles called protons and other uncharged particles called neutrons. According to this model most volume of an atom is made up of an empty space.

Sample Response: The change in her position (from beginning to end), along with the direction, is considered her displacement. T
kykrilka [37]

The sample response given in the question is right.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the distance and displacement.

<h3>How distance differ from displacement?</h3>
  • Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final points of a body.
  • It is the change in position with a fixed direction.
  • Displacement is a vector quantity and can be positive, negative or zero values.
  • Distance is the length of actual path of the body between initial and final positions.
  • It's a scalar quantity and it can be positive or zero.
  • The magnitude of displacement is less than or equal to the distance travelled.

Thus, we can conclude that the given sample response is right.
