The aluminum that you find in stores/products is generally a alloy composed of different metal elements. This is done in order to make it more corrosion resistant and more powerful in strength. The element Aluminum on the Periodic Table however is pure and is an element.

However aluminium's behaviour is in keeping with what would be predicted for an element of aluminium's electronic configuration. It reacts similarly to Gallium although it is notable for forming a waterproof oxide layer, hence it usually appears less reactive that it is.

∙ 13y agoMost, for example an aluminum-steel alloy is used for highway guardrails in some places. When put up it is silvery, but quickly rusts to a pleasant brown color, because of the aluminum the rusting stops when a thin protective non-flaking layer forms. If the guardrail is scratched in a minor accident, the exposed metal in the scratch will rust again until it rebuilds the protective layer. Lasts longer than galvanized guardrail and is almost maintenance free.

What do scientist call a substance that is made of more than one element?
a compound is what i thank to i learned that in 5th grade.
What is more durable Aluminum or steel doors?
Steel is a harder and more durable metal than aluminum. Therefore, steel doors are often more durable and more difficult to damage than aluminum doors.
Why is an aluminum nail less dense than the actual element?
An aluminum nail that is less dense than the element aluminum would not be made of pure aluminum, but would have to be an alloy of aluminum and some other substance. If an aluminum nail is made of pure aluminum, it would have the same density as the "actual" element.
HOW IS A pure element such as aluminum different than a substance made from this element and one or more other elements?
If it's combined with other elements in a chemical reaction aluminum would lose all it's properties and would have new properties
Hematite is composed of oxygen and what element that is less abuyndant than aluminum but more abundant than calcium?
The answer is silicon.
Is chlorine more reactive than aluminum?
Yes, chlorine is a very reactive chemical element.

What element is a silvery metal and more than 4 million tons are produced each year?
The element that is a silvery metal and has more than four million tons of it produced each year is aluminum.
Does al203 contain more than two atoms?
Yes. It contains two atoms of the element aluminum (Al(2)), and three atoms of the element oxygen (O(3)), to form the compound aluminum oxide.
Is nitrogen made from more than one element?
No. Nitrogen is an element in and of itself.
Is copper made up more than one element?
No. Copper is a single element.
Why is glucose a compound?
Because it has more than one element and more than one element mixed together makes a compound
