What is the balanced equation for aluminum fluoride decomposes?

Answer 1

Using the period table you can look to see where Al and Fl sit because this will influence each element's charge. Florine sits in group 7 so it will take on anionic state of -1 when in its ionic form. Aluminum is in group 3. Its charge is +3 in ionic cationic form

So when together they make:. AlF3. You need 3 Florine atoms to balance Aluminium's +3 charge.

AlF3===> Al + 3F

This would be the elemental decomposition of AlF3 with a balanced equation having 3 atoms of Florine on both sides and 1 atom of Aluminum on both sides

Answer 2

Aluminum fluoride = AlF₃

Decomposition of AlF₃:

2AlF₃ ==> 2Al + 3F₂
