Explain how fluorine and aluminum would exchange valence electrons to form an ionic compound.
o-na [289]

Answer :

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.
