How many valence electrons are in Al^3+?

3 valence electrons

Explanation:

Al⁺³ has the electron configuration a of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² and 3p¹. Since we are looking for the valence electrons, we are looking for the outer most electrons. These would be in the 3s² and 3p¹ sublevels. Adding the superscripts of these sub levels, we get:

2 + 1 = 3

∴ there are 3 valence electrons in Al⁺³

We can also check this by taking a quick look at the periodic table. We can find aluminum  on the right hand side underneath boron in group 3A. There is something really cool about all the A groups. Notice the number before the A groups? 1A, 2A, 3A...8A. Well, it goes all the way up to 8A. There are exactly 8 valence electrons in an octet a.k.a. "the happy state of elements." In each group, it can be seen that it has a certain number of electrons by its group number. Your alkali have 1 valence electronsall the way to your noble gases which have 8 valence electrons. Seeing that aluminum is in group 3A, we can, thus determine that it has 3 valence electrons.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
