The electron configuration of aluminium is 1s22s22p63s23p. The outer three electrons occupy three s2p hybrid orbitals that point in orthogonal directions. These electrons easily form covalent bonds, as in anhydrous AlCl3. This compound easily sublimates, showing that it is not ionic, and is partially hydrolyzed by water to release HCl gas. It cannot be formed by heating the hydrated form to drive off water. This only produces the oxide and HCl gas. It is now made commercially by heating aluminum oxide with carbon and chlorine. It is used in the refining of motor oil, and as a catalyst. Hydrated aluminium chloride is used as a personal deodorant. The acid environment it creates is unpleasant for microbes and mild enough to be non-irritating.
The spectroscopic ground state is 3s23p2 3P. The resonance line is at 396.15 nm, so the aluminium atom is not excited in the flame, and gives it no color. When the atom is excited, most of the lines are in the red or infrared. Aluminium is in column IIIA of the Periodic Table, which includes boron, aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium. Aluminium is the only common element in the group, and is considerably different from the others in physical and chemical properties. Boron is an acidic nonmetal, while gallium, indium and thallium are typical basic metals.

Can you tell the chemical properties of a can by looking at a picture whether it is a tin can aluminum can or a crushed can?
No. In order to tell what the chemical properties of the crushed can would be, you would have to have it in person in order to analyze it and come up with the chemical properties.
What are the physical properties of the element gallium?
physical prop: melts in the hand (about 32 degrees celsius chemical prop: Makes alloy with aluminum

Would an aluminum can attract to a magnet?
No. The aluminum can does not have magnetic properties.
What are 5 chemical properties of fermium?
The element Fermium is too unknown to know any physical or chemical property
What is an aluminum atom?
An atom is simply the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element. An aluminum atom, is simply that, the smallest part of aluminum having the chemical properties of aluminum.
The chemical properties of the aluminum change as you cut the can?
FALSE

No. In order to tell what the chemical properties of the crushed can would be, you would have to have it in person in order to analyze it and come up with the chemical properties.
Is the color of aluminum wire physical properties or chemical?
Color is a physical property.
What is chemical properties of 45C8?
The chemical properties of Steel 45C8 are carbon that is the key alloy in its composition, 0.4% silicon, 1.2% manganese and residual elements: copper, molybdenum, aluminum, chromium and nickel.
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
What are three physical properties of aluminum?
There are three physical properties of aluminum foil. The three properties are solid, ductile, and malleable.

What are the physical properties of the element gallium?
physical prop: melts in the hand (about 32 degrees celsius chemical prop: Makes alloy with aluminum
What chemical properties make aluminum bad for cans?
Aluminum is good for cans. Steel is still used in cans for vegetables, meats etc., because an aluminum can thick enough to survive pressure cooking is more expensive than a steel can.
