Question:

How many protons and electrons are in an aluminium ion?

I know there is 13 protons and 13 electrons in an aluminium ATOM but is it different for an aluminium ION??

Answer:

I use square section Stainless - the tubes nest better, are similar weight to equivalent alloy but easier to weld and less likely to corrode in serviceThat's based on a lot of practical experience and use in commercial fishing boats, both mine and other fishers.
In an ion it loses 3 electrons so therefore it will have 13 protons and 10 electrons since it is a cation.
