To show:the sum of the positive and negative charges in a unit of
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The compound is aluminum oxide
Calculation:
Aluminum is having +3 charges and is multiplied by 2 then the total charge will be +6.
Oxygen is having -2 charges and is multiplied by +3 then the total charge will become -6.
Thus, aluminum has +6 charges and oxygen has -6 charges. After the addition of total charge of oxygen and aluminum, the net charge equals to zero.
Conclusion:
Thus, the sum of charge on aluminum and oxygen is equal to zero.
