Phosphorus (P) typically forms 3 covalent bonds due to its electronic configuration of 5 valence electrons. This leads to the formation of compounds such as phosphorus trihydride (PH3) or phosphorus trichloride (PCl3).

Is AlPO4 ionic purely covalent or covalent?

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.
