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.
Not all the elements of the periodic table behave in the same way. 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.
Most, 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.
aluminum can be combined with:
copper,magnesium,manganese, silicon, tin, zinc, boron.....
Yes, it is not inert.
No. Copper is a single element.
More than four million tons of the element aluminum are produced in the United States each year.
As an example potassium has a lower first ionization energy than aluminum (Al).
a compound is what i thank to i learned that in 5th grade.
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.
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.
If it's combined with other elements in a chemical reaction aluminum would lose all it's properties and would have new properties
The answer is silicon.
Yes, chlorine is a very reactive chemical element.
Many are thereSuch as Sodium, Potassium, Barium, Calcium, Magnesiumetc.
The element that is a silvery metal and has more than four million tons of it produced each year is aluminum.
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.
No. Nitrogen is an element in and of itself.
No. Copper is a single element.
Because it has more than one element and more than one element mixed together makes a compound
More than four million tons of the element aluminum are produced in the United States each year.
yes
