Becomes a +1 ion for this
Answer:
The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.
Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.
Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.
Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)
= 2(3) + 3(-2)
= 6 - 6
= 0
Explanation:
Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.
Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
Answer:
Positive ions, or cations.
