3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.
In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).
Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.
Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.

Answer:
b. 3.66x10²³ atoms of chromium.
Explanation:
First we calculate how many moles are there in 31 grams of chromium, using its molar mass:
- Molar Mass of Chromium = 51 g/mol (This can be found on any periodic table)
- 31 g ÷ 51 g/mol = 0.608 mol
Then we <u>calculate how many atoms are there in 0.608 moles</u>, using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:
- 0.608 mol * 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 3.66x10²³ atoms
The correct answer is thus option b. 3.66x10²³ atoms of chromium.
