  • Aluminum Oxide Formula: Understanding Al₂O₃
    You're asking for the formula of aluminum oxide, not its atomic mass. Here's how to determine the formula:

    * Aluminum has a charge of +3 (Al³⁺)

    * Oxygen has a charge of -2 (O²⁻)

    To balance the charges, we need two aluminum atoms for every three oxygen atoms:

    * Al₂O₃

    This is the chemical formula for aluminum oxide.
