I have to find the type of bond that Aluminum (foil) would have. I know that it has some kind of bond to it because that's the kind of question that I got wrong on my last quiz.
Aluminum foil is a crystalline structure. All metals are, I think. Look up aluminum on your periodic table. The number of electrons in the outer ring of the aluminum atom has something to do with whether it will accept or donate ions. In pure material it is these ionic bonds that keep the crystals together in proper alignment.
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.
