Question

Assignment

Name the type of bond present in each of the following
compounds
Aluminium Oxide ,Al3 O₂)
​

Answer 1

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf Ionic \ bond}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's look at the Periodic Table.

We see that aluminum is a metal, while oxygen is a non-metal.

Now, let's recall three types of bonds

• Ionic: typically forms between a metal and a non-metal
• Covalent: usually forms between non-metals
• Metallic: tends to form with metals

Since we have a metal (Al) and a non-metal (O), aluminum oxide must have an ionic bond.
