Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Element and its Group

Aluminum (Al) is the element in question. It is located in Group 13 of the periodic table.

Step 2: Determine the Common Ion Charge for Group 13 Elements

Elements in Group 13 typically form ions with a \(3+\) charge because they tend to lose three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas.
