Aluminium hydroxide
Advertisements
Solution
Write the formula of
| Aluminium hydroxide | Symbol | Valency |
| Aluminium | \[\ce{Al}\] | \[\ce{3^{+}}\] |
| Hydroxide | \[\ce{OH}\] | \[\ce{1^{-}}\] |
Step I – Write each symbol with its valency.
Positive ion is written first
\[\ce{Al}^{3+}\] \[\ce{[OH]}^{1-}\]
Step II – Interchange the valencies positive ion is written first.
The Formula is \[\ce{Al[OH]3}\]
