An aluminum ion has a charge of +3, and an oxide has a charge of -2. What would be the product of a reaction between these two e
1 answer:
The product of a reaction between these two elements is .
Explanation:
The oxidation state of an ion in a compound is equal to its charge.
The aluminum having a charge of +3 because oxidation state is +3
The oxide is having charge of -2
The product of these reactants will produce a chemical compound.
The compound formed is i.e Aluminium oxide. The compound while getting formed will share the charge and cation A+ will have the charge of anion and anion will have the charge of cation. This will result in a compound as there should be a neutral charge on the compound formed.
The <em>+</em><em>3 charge of the cation Al+ will go to anion oxide O2- and the charge of anion -2 will go with cation Al+. </em>

Bohr's atomic model may have not been the accurate atomic model we have in the present, but he helped paved the way for accurate discoveries. His model is also called the planetary model. The nucleus, containing the neutrons and protons are situated at the center of the atom. The electrons are orbiting around the nucleus. The model is illustrated as shown in the attached picture.
Answer:
a. the maximum number of σ bonds that the atom can form is 4
b. the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is 2
Explanation:
Hybridization is the mixing of at least two nonequivalent orbitals, in this case, we have the mixing of one <em>s, 3 p </em> and <em> 2 d </em> orbitals. In hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals generated is equal to the number of pure atomic orbital, so we have 6 hybrid orbital.
The shape of this hybrid orbital is octahedral (look the attached image) , it has 4 orbital located in the plane and 2 orbital perpendicular to it.
This shape allows the formation of maximum 4 σ bond, because σ bonds are formed by orbitals overlapping end to end.
And maximum 2 p-p bonds, because p-p bonds are formed by sideways overlapping orbitals. The atom can form one with each one of the orbitals located perpendicular to the plane.
