What is AlH3?

AlH3 is aluminum trihydride or alane. It exists as an unstable monomeric gas or a polymeric solid.

Note: Because aluminum's charge is always +3 you do not need to add the prefix "tri" It would be redundant to say trihydride because there must be 3 hydrogens to balance out the aluminum (Hydrogen's charge is -3).

IS AlH3 AN ISOMER?

Isomers are chemical compounds which have the same chemical formula while having different chemical structures. AlH3 does not have compounds with different chemical structure. Therefor AlH3 is not an isomer.Isomers are chemical compounds which have the same chemical formula while having different chemical structures.

What are the type of intermolecular force present in AlH3?

AlH3 alane is a covalent solid and is a giant molecule, so no intermolecular forces will be present. Planar AlH3 molecules have been isolated at very low temperatures. AlH3 molecules would be predicted to have no dipole moment due to their shape. The only intermolecular forces would be London dispersion forces.

Who does aluminium bond with and who are its friends?

Aluminium is a reactive metal, it has many friends. However it is quite shy, it has an oxide coating that makes it hard to get to know. It forms many compounds reacting with the halogens to form alumium trihalides, such as AlCl3, with the oxygen family to produce compounds such as Al2O3, with the nitrogen family to proce compounds such as AlN. It reacts with hydrogen and forms AlH3. It even reacts with carbon to form Al4C3 It is present in many silicate minerals and is widespread. Because of its relatively high electronegativity it is borderline covalent/ionic in much of its bonding.
