Answer: The aluminum atom loses electrons to form an ion.
The ion that is formed is <u>positive</u>
<u></u>
<u>Second Part of the question:</u> What is the name of the aluminum ion?
<u>
</u>Answer : <u>Al+3</u>
Explanation: <em>An aluminum ion has a charge of +3. It is not a neutral atom. It has a + charge, the electrons must have been taken away (electrons have a negative charge). Since the atomic number is 13, the number of protons is thirteen. In a neutral atom, there would be thirteen electrons. You take away 3. There is 10 electrons in Aluminum Ion. </em>
<h2>Visceral pleura</h2>
Explanation:
The portion of the serous membrane that covers and adheres to the lung is called visceral pleura
- Pleura are the pair of membranous linings surrounding the lungs
- The visceral pleura covers each lung surface, and the parietal pleura covers the inner surface of the thoracic cavity
- The visceral pleura is a delicate membrane which dips into the fissures between the lobes of the lung
- Pleura allows the lungs to move inside the body cavity without friction as friction would cause damage to the lungs and the tissue in the chest wall
