-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
A
l
O
Step 2
Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen
Which are Al 3+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges
Al 3+ O 2-
Al 3+ O 2-
= 6 + O 2-
= 6-
Step 4
If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts
Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
