Which of the following correctly represents the third ionization of aluminum? A)Al²⁺ (g)+ e^- → Al⁺ (g) B)Al (g)→ Al⁺ (g)+ e^- C)Al^2- (g)+ e^- → Al^3- (g) D)Al²⁺ (g)+ e^- → Al³⁺ (g) E)Al²⁺ (g)→ Al³⁺ (g)+ e^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct representation for the third ionization of aluminum involves the removal of a third electron from an aluminum ion that already has a +2 charge, resulting in an aluminum ion with a +3 charge. This is accurately depicted in option E, where Al^2+ loses an electron to become Al^3+.
