  • Oxygen Atoms in Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)3) - Calculation & Explanation
    Here's how to determine the number of oxygen atoms in a formula unit of Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)3):

    * Identify the hydroxide ion: The formula shows a hydroxide ion (OH-) with one oxygen atom.

    * Count the hydroxide ions: The subscript '3' after the parentheses indicates there are three hydroxide ions in each formula unit.

    * Multiply: Since each hydroxide ion has one oxygen atom, and there are three hydroxide ions, there are a total of 3 * 1 = 3 oxygen atoms in a formula unit of Aluminum Hydroxide.
