just being in contact with oxygen, aluminum will form a molecular bond oxidizing. However, the micro-scopic alumina will protect the aluminum from oxidizing further.
Aluminum corrodes by the following chemical reaction: 4 Al + 3 O2 --> 2 Al2O3. This actually forms a protective layer on the aluminum to prevent it from further corrosion.
yes it does because of the grape flavored pop tarts
When aluminum atoms (Al) are oxidised they loose 3 electrons to become an Al3+ ion
Yes - and forms the basis of the Thermite reaction
Aluminum looses 3 electrons, becoming Al3+
it becomes aluminum oxide.

An aluminum can is made up of the pure substance, aluminum. This means that it has the chemical formula of Al. The surface of aluminum does oxidize, so it will have the formula Al2O3.
the gold metal
Well, aluminum is an element, so none. However, aluminum does oxidize, and some quantity of oxygen might be derived if you will provide the surface area of the aluminum being oxidized, and the conditions, which would estimate a rate of oxidation without actually giving you any meaningful number. Aluminum oxide--the oxidate on the surface of oxidized aluminum--is Al2O3, or 2 parts Al to 3 parts O.
Magnesium acts as an oxidant when added to the aluminum ions, and consquently it will oxidize the aluminum and take it out of the solution forming aluminum solid and then the mangesium itself will go into the solution since it will be oxidezed by the aluminum. The equation would be: Mg (s) + Al³⁺ (aq) → Mg²⁺ (aq) + Al (s)
Yes, there are chemicals to oxidize any metal you can think of, including gold. Gold will also oxidize on it's own if given enough time.

Aluminum does not decompose the way organic materials do. It can take hundreds to thousands of years for aluminum to fully break down in the environment due to its high resistance to corrosion. However, aluminum can be recycled indefinitely, making it a valuable material for sustainability.
i dont think there are disadvantages, im like googling this and i cant find annyyythinng ! (n)
Because aluminum alloys are very light without sacrificing much strength and oxidize very slowly.
Both iron and aluminum will oxidize. When iron oxidizes the product (rust) easily crumbles away, exposing more iron to oxidation. Aluminum is even more reactive than iron, but the aluminum oxide that forms is one of the hardest known substances and forms a protective layer that, even though it is microscopic, shields the aluminum from corrosion.
Exposure to air and moisture can cause aluminum to oxidize, forming a dull layer on the surface of the pan over time. This oxidation process is normal and can be removed by cleaning the pan with a mixture of vinegar and water or a specialized aluminum cleaner.
they combine with oxygen and form oxides. iron oxidizes into rust (iron III oxide) copper oxidizes, so does aluminum, so do most metals. some metals, such as gold and platinium oxidize to a much lesser extent, keeping them shiny.

zax oxidize
Some materials, like iron, when exposed to oxygen, will undergo a chemical reaction and oxidize. Others will not, like plastic.
Every year, millions of people buy aluminum outdoor furniture. While aluminum furniture can provide a great look for a yard or patio, it may not offer the same durability and strength of cast-iron furniture. In addition, aluminum outdoor furniture can corrode over time. Most aluminum-containing products will oxidize with exposure to air and moisture. While this may not be noticeable at first, many aluminum furniture pieces will require replacement after 5 to 10 years.
