Properties of aluminum

Answer 1

Aluminum's atomic number is 13. :p

answer 2. Aluminium as a metal has great use because of its ductility, softness, (effective) corrosion resistance, attractive colour, and is not too expensive. Supplies of the metal are only limited by the energy needed to refine it.

It cannot withstand direct contact with many common metals (copper, zinc, steel), but with appropriate care, it may be joined to some of these. Such as in electrical wiring.

It needs more skill to weld than steel, and is difficult to solder.

It reacts very badly to Mercury. Mercury will continuously amalgamate with aluminum but the aluminum then exposed on the surface of the amalgam immediately oxidizes thus freeing up the mercury for more amalgamation. A truly vicious circle. Air carriers treat it like the plague!!
1) Is a strong, malleable metal element.

2) Has a low density.

3) Is resistant to corrosion.

4) It's a good conductor of heat and electricity

4) Can be polished to give a highly reflective surface.

Answer 2

Aluminium properties include:

• Low Density
• Conductor of energy and electricity
• Shapes easily
• Does not corrode easily (Because of it's ore - bauxite)
• Not a particularly strong metal

Hope this can help for GCSE or A level questions :)

Answer 3

.Lightweight

.Strength

.Corrosion resistance

.Resilience/Flexibility

.Electrical conductivity

.Thermal conductivity

.Non-toxicity

.Recyclability

Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the earth's crust, after only oxygen and silicon, and it is the most abundant of all metals. It constitutes 8.1% of the crust by weight and 6.3% of all the atoms in the crust. Because it is a very active metal, aluminum is never found in the metallic form, but only in a wide variety of earthy and rocky minerals, including feldspar, mica, granit…
