lboogy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm just wondering about ionic bonding, for eg aluminium oxide. Oxygen has 4 electrons on the outer shell whereas aluminium has 3. So the oxygen atom could gain 2 from aluminium to fill their outer shell, but aluminium would still have one electron on it's outer shell. So what would happen to this? Would it remain with the aluminium? ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkblade48 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Recall that aluminum oxide is not AlO, but Al2O3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
