In the formation of which of the following ionic compounds is the number of electrons transferred per formula unit equal to three?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the formation of AlN, aluminum (Al) loses three electrons to form Al^3+ and nitrogen (N) gains three electrons to form N^3-, resulting in a transfer of three electrons per formula unit. Similarly, for the other options, although they appear to be incorrectly formatted or contain typographical errors, if we consider typical ionic compounds involving elements like K, Ba, and Cl, none of these would involve a transfer of exactly three electrons per formula unit in their most common forms (e.g., K+ with Cl-, Ba2+ with Cl-). However, without clear information on the other options due to formatting errors, the safest answer reflecting the information provided is that AlN does involve a transfer of three electrons, suggesting that there could be more than one correct response if the other options were intended to represent compounds involving three-electron transfers but were incorrectly formatted.
