Aluminum can react with oxygen gas to produce aluminum oxide (al2o3). what type of reaction is this? a. single replacement
b. combustion
c. double replacement
d. decomposition

B. combustion

Explanation:

A. Single replacement: A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.

B. Combustion: is a chemical reaction between a substance and an oxidant usually atmospheric oxygen accompanied by generation of heat and light.

C. Double replacement: A double replacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

D. Decomposition : is a reaction in which one reactant decomposes to give two or more than two products.

imma come back to you hold on

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
