covalent
Gallium chloride typically forms an ionic bond due to the large difference in electronegativity between gallium and chlorine. Gallium loses electrons to chlorine, resulting in the formation of a positively charged gallium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion.
Gallium trichloride is covalent. It is present in the solid and liquid as the dimer Ga2Cl6 which has two bridging chlorine atoms. The electronegativity difference between Ga nnd Cl is only 1.32 insufficient for an ionic bond.
Bases can be both ionic and covalent in nature.
AlPO4 is considered to have both ionic and covalent characteristics. The Al-P bonds are more ionic due to the electronegativity difference between aluminum and phosphorus, while the P-O bonds are more covalent. Therefore, AlPO4 is best described as having a mixture of ionic and covalent bonding.
C6H4C12 is a covalent substance, because the elements present are all non-metals. Ionic bonds can only be formed between a metal and a non-metal.
