When an aluminum atom becomes an ion, what is its charge?

Initially, the aluminum atom had a charge of +13 + (−13) = 0; in other words, its charge was neutral due to the equal numbers of protons and electrons. When it becomes an ion, it loses 3 electrons, leaving behind only 10. Now the charge is +13 + (−10) = +3.

Thank you and please rate me as brainliest as it will help me to level up

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
