    Al

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The overall reaction is

    4Al + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Al₂O₃

    The Al atoms lose three electrons each to form Al³⁺ ions:

    4Al ⟶ 4Al³⁺ + 12e⁻

    The O₂ molecules gain those 12 electrons each to form O²⁻ ions.

    3O₂ + 12e⁻ ⟶ 6O²⁻

    The Al³⁺ and O²⁻ ions combine to form Al₂O₃.

    4Al³⁺ + 6O²⁻ ⟶ 2Al₂O₃.
