Well, which ion has the greater $"nucular charge"$ ?

Explanation:

Clearly, $"aluminum"$ has a GREATER nuclear charge than magnesium... And it is ALSO a formal $Al^(3+)$ trication…and also also it is a trication as opposed to a dication...

But as chemists, as physical scientists, should we not interrogate the data? Do these data support or detract from our argument...?
