Aluminum sulfide : Al₂S₃

ratio cation : anion = 2 : 3

Further explanation

Given

Compound of Aluminium

Required

cations anions ratio

Solution

Salt can be formed from cations and anions which have their respective charges.

In the chemical compound formula these charges are crossed with each other

For aluminum it has a +3 charge

1. Aluminum carbide : Al₄C₃

ratio cation : anion = 4 : 3

2. Aluminum chloride : AlCl₃

ratio cation : anion = 1 : 3

3. Aluminum sulfide : Al₂S₃

ratio cation : anion = 2 : 3

4. Aluminum nitride : AlN

ratio cation : anion = 1 : 1
