No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
Quite covalent, hardly ionic (very weak monoprotic acid HBO3H2 )
Aluminium will form covalent bonds with other elements if the difference in the electronegativities between the two elements are below 1.7
It'll behave the same way as Aluminum, Gallium and Thallium do.
does aluminum and oxygen form a covalent bond
Boron will form the covalent bonds based on the octet rule.
maximum of three

The elements below Boron in group 13 generally give electrons to form ions, although they can form covalent compounds. Boron forms covalent bonds rather than ionic so it shares electrons.
In general, boron will form 3 covalent bonds, using each of its 3 valence shell electrons (sharing them). This will of course violate the octet rule, but obeys the sextet rule, and this is what makes boron stable. It (along with aluminum, eg.) do not obey the octet rule.
Boron and Iodine are elements but in a reaction they would form neither as a covaelent bond and an ionic bond is comepletely separate.Basically, neither can form copounds as covaelent and ionic are bonds not compounds.

They can form a network covalent bonding as in boron nitride.
It is used to form molecules and various compounds. In fact, most of the bonds are covalent bonds.
