AlO2, or aluminum dioxide, primarily exhibits ionic bonding due to the transfer of electrons from aluminum (a metal) to oxygen (a non-metal). In this compound, aluminum typically has a +3 oxidation state, while oxygen has a -2 oxidation state, leading to the formation of AlO2^− anions. This results in a network structure where ionic interactions dominate. Additionally, covalent character may be present due to the involvement of the aluminum's p-orbitals in bonding.
