Aluminum Chloride has a formula of AlCl3 giving it 4 total atoms per molecule. Aluminum has a charge of +3 and Chlorine's most common charge is -1 meaning you need 3 chlorine for every 1 Aluminum to cancel the charges. Because of the chlorine, it would most likely be aqueous, or dissolved in a liquid. Aluminum Chloride has a formula of AlCl3 giving it 4 total atoms per molecule. Aluminum has a charge of +3 and Chlorine's most common charge is -1.
In the solid the aluminium has 6 chlorine atoms around it. The bonding is more ionic than covalent. At the melting point the structure changes to a dimer with a formula of Al2Cl6 with four chlorines around each aluminium atom. In this state the bonding is covalent.lCl3 has simple covalent bonding because the aluminium cation is so small and highly charged (3+) that it has an extremely high charge density. This charge density distorts the electron cloud of the anions (Cl-) to such a large degree that the bonding is considered as covalent.
