Answer 2

$Al^{3+}$ ion is formed in order to acquire the most stable configuration of a noble gas.

It is formed in the following manner:

The electronic configuration of $Al$ = 2, 8, 3

In order to form $Al^{3+}$ it has to lose 3 electrons.

Then, the electronic configuration becomes,

The electronic configuration of $Al^{3+}$ = 2, 8

$Al$ goes to achieve this configuration of a noble gas because we know that they are the most stable elements of the periodic table. Hence, $Al$ undergoes the removal of its electrons to achieve this stable electronic configuration and form $Al^{3+}$.
