Alumin(i)um coheres by metallic bonding.
No, aluminium and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. Aluminium typically forms covalent bonds, while nitrogen usually forms covalent or coordinate covalent bonds.
Aluminium sulfide is an ionic compound formed between aluminium (a metal) and sulfur (a non-metal), therefore it is an ionic compound.
Argon does not participate in covalent or ionic bonding. It is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell, making it stable and unreactive.
ALN (aluminium nitride) is a covalent compound. It is made up of aluminium and nitrogen atoms that share electrons to form covalent bonds.

Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
No, aluminium and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. Aluminium typically forms covalent bonds, while nitrogen usually forms covalent or coordinate covalent bonds.
In ionic bonding electron are transfer whereas in covalent bonding their is sharing of electron

These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
No, Covalent
Aluminium sulfide is an ionic compound formed between aluminium (a metal) and sulfur (a non-metal), therefore it is an ionic compound.
Covalent bonding
In ionic bonding electrons are transferred from one element to another and are localised and not shared. the force of attraction in ionic bonding is electrostatic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, or in some cases delocalised as in benzene. The source of the strength of a covalent bond is a quantum effect.
AlCl3 has simple covalent bonding because the aluminium cation is so small and highly charged (3+) that it has an extremely high charge density. This charge density distorts the electron cloud of the anions (Cl-) to such a large degree that the bonding is considered as covalent. This is why AlCl3 vapourises at room temperature, because it only has weak van der waal's intermolecular forces. Well I didn't write this! AlCl3 is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 1920 It does NOT vapourise at room temperature! In the solid the aluminium has 6 chlorine atoms around it. The bonding is more ionic than covalent. At the melting point the structure changes to a dimer with a formula of Al2Cl6 with four chlorines around each aluminium atom. In this state the bonding is covalent.
