Question

A. Reading Material:
(4 marks]
Aluminium atom has 13 protons and 14 neutrons. Chlorine atom has 17 protons and 18 neutrons.
When aluminium reacts with chlorine, aluminium atom donates three electrons (one electron to
each of the chlorine atoms) and chlorine atom gains one electron (three chlorine atoms each
gaining one electron). Aluminium becomes positively charged aluminium ion and chlorine
becomes negatively charged chloride ion. Thus, Aluminium chloride molecule is formed (AIO):):
The chemical bond formed by transfer of electron/s is called ionic bond or electrovalent bond and
compounds formed are called ionic compounds or electrovalent compounds. Generally the bond
formed between metals and non-metals is ionic bond.
4 count the total number of subatomic particles in aluminum atom and aluminum ion​

Answer 1

Answer:

aluminium atom:-electrom-13

proton-13

neutron-14

total=40

aluminium ion:-electron-10

proton-13

neutron-14

total=37

Explanation:

hope this will help you

Answer 2

Hey mate.... there's a mistake.

Aluminium chloride is Al2Cl3

and, count of subatomic particles, i.e. , electrons are equal to protons. So in aluminium atom they are also 13, but in aluminium ion they are 13-3 = 10
