hello, i'm doing a school project on aluminium and i'm a little stumped. what elements bond well with aluminium and why? thanks alot!
Fluorine can bond with aluminum. Aluminum has three extra electrons and will easily let the Fluorine atoms use them. Because Aluminum has three, that means three Fluorines can bond. The result is AlF?, also known as Aluminum trifluoride.
Yes it will be a covalent bond. The simplest compound will be CH4 where each of the electron from the four H will be shared with one each from C to provide 4 covalent bonds.
Oxygen is another and AlO I believe is the most common bonded aluminum you will find.
