Which element is used in foil?
What kind of foil? The stuff you get in the supermarket to wrap sandwiches is mostly aluminum (although it contains other elements - both added intentionally and picked up from the recycling process that a lot of aluminum goes through) but "foil" is just paper-thin sheet metal so any metal malleable enough to roll down to a few thousandths of an inch thickness, and strong enough to hold together when it's rolled that thin, can be made into foil. There's gold foil, silver foil, copper foil, tin foil - yes, "tin foil" that's really made out of tin exists - lead foil, iron foil, steel foil...Aluminium is the metal used in foil. Its symbol is Al. Its atomic number is 13.
How is tin foil made from aluminum?
Tin foil is made from thin sheets of aluminum that are processed through a rolling mill to reduce their thickness. The aluminum is then slit into thin strips and coiled to create the final product, which is often referred to as aluminum foil. The term "tin foil" is a misnomer, as modern foil is made from aluminum, not tin.
