binary ionic compound
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
Aluminum combines chemically into binary compounds mostly with nonmetal elements, but aluminates, which contain oxygen, aluminum, and another metal element are also important minerals practically.
They stick!
ionic bond conects a nonmetal and a metal. covalent bond connects a nonmetal and another nonmetal.
