What ionic compound would you expect to form between aluminum and sulfur?

As cations, they retain their original names (examples: aluminum chloride, sulfur dioxide).
As anions, they get "ide" endings and become aluminide (very rare) and sulfide (not quite as rare).
Combined with oxygen in complex anions, they form aluminates, sulfites, sulfates, etc.

Is aluminum and sulfur likely to form a compound?
Yes, called aluminum sulfide, Al2S3
Aluminum or sulfur configuration ends in 3p1?
Two aluminum atoms and three sulfur atoms are combined in the compound aluminum sulfide (2 Al + 3 S = Al2S3).
How many electrons are transferred to form a bond between aluminum and sulfur?
The compound Al2S3 involves the transfer of 6 electrons. Al has an oxidation number of +3. and sulfur -2
Is sulfur reactive to aluminum?
Yes, and the compound Al2S3 (aluminium sulfide) is formed.
How do you write aluminum sulfate as a compound?
The formula for the compound aluminum sulfide is Al2S3. Each Al2S3 molecule contains 2 aluminum atoms and 3 sulfur atoms.
What kind of compound is sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is a chemical compound. It is a mixture between sulfur and oxygen and it is commonly called SO2.
Are aluminum and aluminum oxide allotropes?
Not at all. Aluminum oxide is a compound of aluminum, not an allotrope. An allotrope of aluminum would still be called aluminum, but sometimes we distinguish allotropes by assigning numbers, such as sulfur-1, sulfur-2, etc. It refers to the specific structure which the atoms form (such as crystaline vs. amorphous).
