Because it has 3 valence electrons. The same reason any element is in the group it is in.
Al -3
the ionic bond will get form
This reaction is:Al + Fe2O3 = Al2O3 + Fe
There is no element that has the formula A1. There is aluminum, which as the chemical formula Al. The ion that typically comes from it is Al3+.
The most familiar one is aluminum, which can form ions with a charge of plus 3, for example in compounds such as aluminum oxide.
Well lets go through the checklist for metals. Metals have several properties:MalleableHave Luster (shiny)Solid at room temp (Mercury is a notable exception to this)High melting/boiling pointsAluminum fits all four of these to a T making it very much a metal.
Aluminum is considered a trace mineral. Trace amounts of aluminum are commonly found in foods, but it is harmless in the natural form when eaten in moderation. Elemental aluminum can be toxic.
Aluminium (Al) is a solid metal.
Foil is usually made of Aluminum and maybe sometimes some form of steel. Metals like Magnesium or Tungsten wouldn't be used in foil.
magnesium,aluminum,zinc,calcium
the ionic bond will get form
White powder of aluminum oxide
Aluminum is a metal, it has an atomic structure with 3 electrons in its outer shell, it is a very useful material with many commercial applications, and it could be considered to be an example of each of these 3 categories of things, and many others as well. It is also a shiny thing, a hard thing, a corrosion-resistant thing, an element that combines readily with oxygen, and a constituent of many types of jewels, in the form of aluminum oxide.
This reaction is:Al + Fe2O3 = Al2O3 + Fe
2Al + 3Cl2 -> 2AlCl3 aluminium reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminium trichloride.
Two non metal atoms typically form a covalent bonds.
There is no element that has the formula A1. There is aluminum, which as the chemical formula Al. The ion that typically comes from it is Al3+.
Aluminium is a chemical element, metal and form ionic bonds.
