Answer:

13 electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write the Aluminium electron configuration we first need to know the number of electrons for the Al atom (there are 13 electrons). When we write the configuration we'll put all 13 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of the Aluminium atom.
