Solution

The noble gas configuration of aluminum is [Ne] 3s²3p¹.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. Identify the atomic number of aluminum. Aluminum has an atomic number of 13.

  2. Write down the electron configuration for aluminum. The electron configuration of aluminum is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹.

  3. Identify the noble gas that comes before aluminum in the periodic table. The noble gas that comes before aluminum is Neon (Ne), which has an atomic number of 10.

  4. Replace the electron configuration of the noble gas in the electron configuration of aluminum. The electron configuration of Neon is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

  5. The remaining electron configuration after the noble gas is the valence electron configuration. For aluminum, it is 3s² 3p¹.

So, the noble gas configuration of aluminum is [Ne] 3s²3p¹.
