Question

A student performs an experiment to form aluminium chloride from aluminium and chlorine. Which options gives the chemical equation of the reaction?​

Answer 1

2Al+3Cl

2

→2AlCl

3

..........

Answer 2

The equation for the formation of aluminium chloride from aluminium and chlorine is:

                                                2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl

• Three electrons must be removed from aluminium. As a result, the outer electron shell, which already possesses eight electrons, would become the inner electron shell.
• In addition, the outer shell of chlorine comprises seven electrons. As a result, chlorine has one unoccupied spot.
• As a result, if aluminium and chlorine come into contact, they will aid each other. When it comes to electrons, chlorine is the most voracious. Three electrons can be lost in a single atom of aluminium.
• As a result, three chlorine atoms will pull those three electrons. Finally, the aluminium is stabilised.
