Abundant where? I assume this regarding the earth's crust.

Al and Fe are pretty similar, Al being slightly more abundant. Ti is slightly less abundant still and Cu is markedly the least abundant.
That said, abundancy doesn't necessarily dictate how easily isolated an element is.
One product will be AlCl3 Copper metal will be a product
In addition to the quite different atomic structures of each: Al is stiff and light weight Cu is malleable and relatively heavy Their natural colors are different as well: light grey for Al and dark reddish brown for Cu.
The metals represented by the symbols C, Ca, Cs, and Cu are as follows: C is carbon, which is a non-metal; Ca is calcium, an alkaline earth metal; Cs is cesium, an alkali metal; and Cu is copper, a transition metal. Therefore, among these, only calcium, cesium, and copper are classified as metals. Carbon is not a metal, but rather a non-metal element.
The transition metals among the elements listed are Cu (copper), Cd (cadmium), and Au (gold). These elements are found in the d-block of the periodic table and are characterized by their ability to form variable oxidation states and complex ions. Sr (strontium), Al (aluminum), Ge (germanium), and Co (cobalt) are not classified as transition metals; however, Co (cobalt) is a transition metal, while Sr, Al, and Ge are classified as alkaline earth metal, post-transition metal, and metalloid, respectively.
No, Cu is not an alkali metal. It is a transition metal. Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the periodic table, while copper (Cu) is located in Group 11.
Aluminum (Al) tends to corrode more easily than the other metals listed. Aluminum forms a layer of oxide on its surface when exposed to air, but this oxide layer is not as protective as the oxide layers formed on other metals like stainless steel or zinc. This makes aluminum more susceptible to corrosion.
Cu-Zn-Al & Cu-Al-Ni
Copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au) are transition metals that have high electrical conductivity and are commonly used in jewelry and electrical wiring. Aluminum (Al) is a lightweight metal commonly used in construction due to its strength and resistance to corrosion.
Yes, it is. It shows two oxidation states: Cu(I) and Cu(II).
Aluminum (Al) is more reactive than copper (Cu). This is because Al has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions compared to Cu. Additionally, Al reacts more readily with oxygen and water than Cu does.
The chemical equation is:2 Al +3 CuCl2 = 3 Cu + 2 AlCl3
Ag-Cu forms a metallic bond. In this type of bond, electrons are shared among all the atoms within the metal lattice, leading to a strong attraction between the positively charged metal ions and the delocalized electrons.
