Identify the coordination number of the oxygen ions, which is given as six.
Understand that the coordination number of Al^{3+} will be determined by the number of oxygen ions it is bonded to.
In Al2O3, each Al^{3+} ion is surrounded by oxygen ions. Since the oxygen ions are six-coordinate, each oxygen is bonded to multiple Al^{3+} ions.
Calculate the total number of Al^{3+} ions that can coordinate with one oxygen ion, considering the stoichiometry of Al2O3.
Determine the coordination number of Al^{3+} by considering how many oxygen ions surround each Al^{3+} ion, ensuring the charge balance and stoichiometry are maintained.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Coordination Number

The coordination number refers to the number of ligand atoms that are bonded to a central metal ion in a complex. It is a crucial concept in coordination chemistry, as it influences the geometry and stability of the complex. For example, a coordination number of six typically leads to an octahedral geometry, while four can lead to either tetrahedral or square planar arrangements.

Coordination Numbers

Aluminum Ion (Al3+)

The aluminum ion, Al3+, is a common cation in coordination compounds, characterized by its +3 charge. This high charge density allows it to attract and coordinate with multiple anions or ligands. Understanding the properties of Al3+ is essential for predicting its behavior in various compounds, including its coordination number and the resulting structure.

Anion Coordination

Anion coordination refers to the arrangement and bonding of anions around a central cation in a compound. The coordination number of the anions can influence the overall structure and stability of the compound. In the case of Al2O3, where oxygen ions are six-coordinate, this indicates that each aluminum ion is surrounded by six oxygen ions, which helps determine the coordination number of the aluminum ions.
