Aluminium is a reactive metal, it has many friends. However it is quite shy, it has an oxide coating that makes it hard to get to know.
It forms many compounds reacting with the halogens to form alumium trihalides, such as AlCl3, with the oxygen family to produce compounds such as Al2O3, with the nitrogen family to proce compounds such as AlN. It reacts with hydrogen and forms AlH3. It even reacts with carbon to form Al4C3
It is present in many silicate minerals and is widespread.
Because of its relatively high electronegativity it is borderline covalent/ionic in much of its bonding.

Compare and contrast the bond properties of N2 and AlCl3?
Aluminium chloride has ionc bonds; nitrogen molecule has covalent bond.
What is the chemical bond in aluminium and silicon when added to each other?
Silicon crystals precipitates coexist with metallic phase of aluminium. This alloy is a nonhomogeneous mixture after my opinion.
Why does aluminium chloride have a low melting point?
Maybe because aluminum atom in Alcl3 does not attain octet arrangement... thus, it undergoes dimerisation to produce al2cl6, where the aluminum atom achieve an octet electronic configuration.
What is the type of bond of aluminum oxide?
Ionic bonding is present in aluminium oxide.
How much aluminium is in 1 ton of aluminium oxide?
1000 kg aluminium oxide contain 470,588 kg aluminium.
What type of bond is present in aluminium oxide?
Aluminium oxide has an ionic bond.
What type of bond is AIPO4?
Aluminium phosphate has an ionic bond.
What type of bond is AlF3?
Aluminium fluoride has an ionic bond.
What type of bond does mica have?
It is Aluminium combined with Silicon, and it's bond is covalent.
Is aluminum ionic or moelecular?
Aluminium is a metal and has metallic bond.
How many bonds does Aluminum have?
Aluminium does not form covalent bonds as it is a metal, rather it forms a cation with a charge of +3. as usual times, aluminium form ionic bonds with non-metal elements due to the fact that it can form +3 charge (fyi: ionic bond is an attraction between a +ve charged ion with a -ve charged ion). however, there are cases where aluminium forms covalent bond, dative covalent bond to be exact. this is where one aluminium forms 3 ordinary covalent bond with 3 chlorine atoms and one dative covalent bond by accepting a lone pair (2 unpaired electrons) from another chlorine (chlorine is attached to another aluminium with covalent bond), thus aluminium forms 4 3 ordinary covalent bond and 1 dative covalent bond Note: Chlorine is not affected when sharing 2 (better stress as lone pairs) of it electron to aluminium when forming dative bond as it DOES NOT accept any electrons from aluminium in return in dative covalent bond. chlorine only accpet electrons from only normal covalent bond or normal ionic bond. is a bit unclear. so you should just search the site and type Al2Cl6
What type of bond holds aluminium phosphide?
Aluminium phosphide is AlP. The bonding is covalent, AlP is a "3-5" semiconductor.
What type of chemical bond does aluminium chloride have?
2Al + Cl2 = 2AlCl
Compare and contrast the bond properties of N2 and AlCl3?
Aluminium chloride has ionc bonds; nitrogen molecule has covalent bond.
What is the type of bond formed between nitrogen and aluminium atoms?
its n ionic bond for all u idiots out here!
Is Al a metallic bond?
NO. Al is not a metallic bond, Al is an element, the metal Aluminium. Being a metal it does display metallic bonding.
Is aluminum bromide made up of coordinate covalent bond?
Yes, AlBr3 is found as a dimer in the solid and the liquid with the formula Al2Br6. Each molecule contains four coordniate aluminium with two bridging bromine atoms that make a coordinate covalent bond to the other aluminium atom. Aluminium achieves its octet.
