Identify the ion ratios needed to form neutral compounds from the ions below. The metal ion (cation) is listed first, and the nonmetal ion (anion) is listed second. Make sure to give each ratio in its most simplified form. Na+:Br– = 1 : ⇒ 1 Al3+:Cl– = 1 : ⇒ 3 Mg2+:O2– = 1 : ⇒ 1 Al3+:O2– = 2 : ⇒ 3

it means there are 3 atoms of oxygen

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
