In terms of electron arrangement in the formation of the ionic compound aluminium oxide, two aluminium atoms donate their three outer electrons to three oxygen atoms.

This results in two triple positive aluminium ions to three double negative oxide ions via electron transfer.

All the ions have the stable electronic structure of neon 2.8. Valencies, Al = 3 and O = 2

2Al (2.8.3) + 3O (2.6) ==> 2Al3+ (2.8) 3O2– (2.8)

can be summarised electronically as 2[2,8,3] + 3[2,6] ==> [2,8]3+2 [2,8]2–3

so both the aluminium and oxide ions have a full outer shell like a noble gas

hope it helps

Since the overall charge of a compound must always be equal to zero (neutral), we need 2 aluminum atoms and 3 oxygen atoms in order to balance out the charge and make the compound neutral. This means that the chemical formula for aluminum oxide is simply Al2 O3.
