D) ALCL3 is the correct answer :)

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The aluminium chloride has three chloride atoms. Here three chlorine atoms are surrounding one aluminium atom.

Aluminium is with 3+ charge that is cation and and chlorine is with 1- charge that is anion.Three chloride ions (with 1- charge) will neutralize the positive charge on the aluminium cation.

So, the chemical formula will be
`AlCl_3`
