aluminum bonds with oxygen by transferring its 3 electrons therefore having the charge of positive 3 (+3). However, in this case oxygen can only accept 2 electrons to become stable and it has the charge of negative 2 (-2). So now this is where hydrogen kicks in, the last electron of aluminum is transferred to hydrogen giving it the charge of negative 1 (-1) so now your element is called Aluminum hydroxide.

∙ 8y agoAluminum (or, aluminium, Brit.), Al, is a metal. Oxygen is a non-metal. The bonds between metals and non-metals are ionic, such as aluminum (III) oxide, which is Al2O3.

An absolute difference between ionic and covalent probable doesn't exist.

Does the attraction of opposite charges between hydrogen and oxygen forms a weak bond?
no, this is false it forms a hydrogen bond.
In both liquid water and ice a hydrogen bond forms between .?
A hydrogen bond forms between the hydrogen(s) of one water molecule, and the oxygen molecule of another water molecule.
How many bonds does Aluminum have?
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
What type of bond would form between carbon and oxygen atoms?
Covalent bond
What type of bond forms between 2 iodine atoms?
An ionic bond - sodium and iodine form NaI, containing Na+ and I- ions.

How do you covalently bond aluminum and sulfur?
Reacting aluminium and sulfur forms Al2S3. The reaction produces a lot of heat and forms the colorless aluminium(III) sulfide. This is a covalent compound.
What happens when a ionic bond forms between magnesium with an atomic number of 12 and oxygen with an atomic number of 8?
Two electrons are trasfered from magnesium to oxygen and ionic bond is formed.
What bond in oxygen?
There are two types of chemical bonds present in oxygen: 1. If it is bonded with a metal, it forms an ionic bond; 2. if it is bonded with a non-metal, it forms a covalent bond.
