Question:

I have a 5 year old miniature beagle herrier, he was well trained by 1 but recently been getting in the trash.?

I have a 5 year old miniature beagle herrier, I adopted him at 6 months old and was a terrible dog (getting into trash, still not potty trained, chewing furnature, etc) however, by 1 year old I had the smartest well trained dog anyone had seenHe also got all of my attention at the timeI am now married, work 40 hours a week, and have two more pups(who are very good and never get into trouble) within the last few months my beagle has been getting into the trash every dayMy wife thought he was still hungry so I let him eat all he wanted yesterday only to wake up to trash all over my kitchen floor againI have a cage which i have termed quot;jailquot; and put him in there for several hours every time he does thisI have also spoild him and given him treats when he is not being badCould you please help me to get my pup back to the wonderful dog he has been the last 4 years? Thank you, Ryan

Answer:

Ionic compounds balance based on their components' ionic chargesThey get those charges based on the number of electrons vsprotons each atom hasIf an atom has 3 protons and 5 electrons, then theoretically it would have an ionic charge of -2, because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive chargeWith more electrons than protons, the atom would have a negative charge, and vice versa Oxygen has an ionic charge of -2, and Aluminum has an ionic charge of +3 Given the equation Al2O3, there are 2 Aluminum atoms and 3 Oxygen atomsTherefore: 2 Aluminum (+3 2 +6) 3 Oxygen ( -2 3 -6) When you add +6 to -6, you get 0, which is in balance Hope this helps!
elements form ions according to the number of electrons in their outer shell, you can find tables telling what ions each element makes almost anywhere, for example, oxygen makes a 2- ion, while aluminium makes a 3+ ion, when a compound is formed, these + and - have to equal 0, Al2 is 2 x 3+ 6+ O3 is 3 x 2- 6- 6-60, so the formula balances
as aluminum is in the third column of the periodic table, it has three valence electrons it can donateoxygen, being in the 6th column has six valence electrons, two less than it needs for a full octet, which is the most stableto balance the two elements, you must combine 2 aluminum atoms donating 6 electrons total (three each) with 3 oxygen atoms which accept a total of 6 electrons (two each) yielding the formula Al2O3if you're still confused, message me and i will explain it more
I don't think it's a training issue I believe he's probably just bored while you're away at work and knows he can get away with exploring all the wonderful scents in the trash I suggest you purchase a small trash can and place it under the kitchen sink before he eats something that could make him sick I have 2 terriers that are well trained and perfectly behaved while I'm home, but once I leave one jumps up on the sofaI solved that by laying down aluminum foil on the seat cushions before I leave Good Luck!
