what kind of charge would alO2 be. there will be 2:1 ratio. one oxygen atom will get more then the other
-
The most common compound that contains Al and O has the formula Al2O3. This the common form taken by oxides of aluminum. It occurs in nature as corundum (rubies and sapphires).
There are more exotic combinations suggested, like the neutral molecule AlO2, and the anion AlO2^-, which is sometimes called "aluminate" and has a -1 charge. The AlO3^3- anion is also called "aluminate".

Oxygen as an element is neutral, as is its diatomic form, O2.
I'm assuming youre talking about oxygen.... and "alo2" was a typo.

AlO2?
Al = 3+ and O = 2-
1 x 3 + 2 x -2 = charge on compound
3 - 4 = -1
AlO2 1-
