ANSWER:Solution 31P
Step 1:
(a)Lewis Structure of Al3+
The electronic configuration of Al is, 13Al [Ne] 3s2 3p1
The Lewis structure of Al is
But in Al3+ the electronic configuration resemble electronic configuration of Ne i.e 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Hence the Lewis dot structure of Al3+ resemble with the Lewis structure of Ne.
