When Oxygen And Aluminum Form An Ionic Compound, What Is The Formula??

aluminum oxide

What is the formula of the ionic compound formed by aluminum and oxygen O atoms explain why in terms of electron transfer stability and overall charge?

Three Oxygen atoms gains two electrons each ( total of six) from two Al atoms, each Al atom loses three electrons (total of six) to three oxygen atom , in this process each Al atom becomes Al3+ ion and Oxygen atom after gaining two electrons becomes O2− ion. or the formula is Al2O3 .
