The aluminum atom_loses_____electrons to form an ion.
The ion that is formed is_Al³⁺_____.
aluminium has the electronic configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
from the electronic configuration , we see that aluminium can attain stability by losing 3 electrons from outer shell.
after losing 3 electrons , the ion formed is given as Al³⁺
hence the correct options to fill in the blanks are lose and Al³⁺
