Question

Write the electrovalency of :

Aluminium

Answer 1

Electrovalency :

• Electrovalency is defined as the number of electrons lost or gained by an atom of the element to acquire a stable configuration during the formation of an electrovalent bond.
• For example, 3 electrons are lost by Aluminium to achieve its stable electronic configuration of Neon.
• Hence, the electrovalency of Aluminium is 3.

$\mathrm{Element}$	$\mathrm{No}.\mathrm{of}\mathrm{electrons}\mathrm{lost}$	$\mathrm{Electrovalency}$
$\mathrm{Aluminium}$	$\mathrm{loses}\mathrm{three}\mathrm{electrons}$	$3$
