Question

Predict the combining capacity of aluminum and explain in terms of its valence electrons and noble gases.

Answer 1

I know that the combining capacity of Aluminum is 3. I do not know how to do the rest of it?

Answer 2

Combining capacity is based off of valance electrons. Such as group 13, all elements have a combining capacity of 3 (as all of them has 3 valance electrons) Or group 2, all elements have a combining capacity of 2. Noble gases have a combining capacity of 0.
