Answer: The compound represents aluminium iodide is AlI3.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of atoms that combined in a neutral and stable molecule must be zero.
  • It is known that the oxidation state of Al is (3+) and of iodide ion is (-1) .
  • The (Al) ion must bonded by 3 atoms of (I) ion, then it will be AlI3.
  • Also, a monoiodide can find a role in the Al-I system, but the compound AlI is unstable at room temperature and converted to the triiodide form as shown in the following equation: 3 AlI → AlI 3 + 2 Al
