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

How many covalent bonds can Indium form?
It'll behave the same way as Aluminum, Gallium and Thallium do.
Is AlF63- polar?
Yes, the molecule does not contain polar bonds on the Aluminum and there are no lone pairs. The elements attached to the Aluminum have the same electronegativity.
Does Al2O3 have a covalent bond?
Aluminum oxide is an ionic compound, it has no covalent bonds.
How do you break aluminum alumina bond?
I'm not quite sure what you mean because alumina is a compound (aluminum oxide or Al2O3) and aluminum is an element. Therefore, there isn't a bond per se from aluminum to alumina... just aluminum-aluminum bonds and aluminum-oxygen bonds. I do know that alumina will dissolve in a strong base solution, such as KOH or NaOH, and so if you have a layer of alumina on an aluminum sheet, a strong base solution will remove it. Also, a strong acid will dissolve the aluminum. (I do have to admit I'm not entirely sure what the effect of a strong base on aluminum and a strong acid on alumina is, though... and that might be a problem... hmm...)
What types of bonds will form when fluorine gas reacts with aluminum metal?
the ionic bond will get form
Which metals have the strongest bonds lithium magnesium or aluminum?
Out of these metals, lithium has the strongest bonds. Aluminum has the weakest bonds and magnesium has somewhat strong bonds.
How many outer and inner shells does aluminum have?
No it doesn't... Aluminum has 3 extra electrons in the outer shell
How many covalent bonds can Indium form?
It'll behave the same way as Aluminum, Gallium and Thallium do.
Is AlF63- polar?
Yes, the molecule does not contain polar bonds on the Aluminum and there are no lone pairs. The elements attached to the Aluminum have the same electronegativity.
Does Al2O3 have a covalent bond?
Aluminum oxide is an ionic compound, it has no covalent bonds.
Which elements does not form bonds easily because it has a full outer shell?
aluminum
What is the type of bond of aluminum oxide?
Ionic bonding is present in aluminium oxide.

What are some bonds?
Sodium and oxygen Flourine and sodium Calcium and chlorine Aluminum and chlorine
How is aluminum extracted from the minerals that are mined?
aluminum bonds strongly to oxygen, and cannot be removed through conventional smelting. For this reason, electrolosys is used on molten alumina (Al2O3) to separate the aluminum from the oxygen.
