it is an ionic bond because the electronic configuration of aluminium is 2.8.3 . so it has the tendency to loose its last shell electron i.e, 3. moreover ionic bond is defined as a bond which can loose or share electron.

∙ 13y agoAluminum chloride is an ionic compound because aluminum is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. The combination of a metal bonded with a nonmetal is an ionic compound.
Incorrect.
Aluminium Chloride is covalent.

∙ 11y agoKAl (SO4)2 is ionic. It contains K+, Al3+ and SO42- ions. The sulfate ions contain covalent bonds. It is normally encountered as the dodecahydrate (12 water molecules), KAl(SO4)2.12H2O and is called potassium alum or more often just alum.

So it is ionic, like all metals in salts, though aluminum is one which has some slight metalloid properties.

Is pottasium sulfate a covalent bond?
Potassium sulfate contains both covalent and ionic bonding. Potassium cations are bonded ionically to the polyatomic sulfate anions, and these anions are internally bonded covalently.
Why potassium sulfate is ionic?
Potassium sulfate forms an ionic bond, it is composed of ions
