The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

Magma can partially crystallize at depth and then rise to shallow depths where the remaining magma solidifies. The early-formed
Doss [256]
<h2>Phenocrysts and Porphyritic texture </h2>

Explanation:

  • The early formed crystals are of phenocrysts and the texture of these crystals is porphyritic texture.  
  • This crystallization occurs when early-forming plagioclase crystals which are rich in calcium start coating with plagioclase crystals which are rich in sodium.
  • On cooling, the magma is then processed in a volcanic eruption, after the eruption the liquid which is left behind will start cooling and forms a porphyritic texture.

When an aqueous solution of silver nitrate is
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

K^{+} and NO_{3}^{-}

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) ==> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

With all the ions, it is

Ag^{+}(aq) + NO_{3} ^{-}(aq) + K^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)  ==> AgCl(s) +

K^{+} and NO_{3} ^{-} do not change, so they are the spectator ions and are removed

The ionic equation is:

Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) ==> AgCl(s)
