I'm not quite sure what you mean because alumina is a compound (aluminum oxide or Al2O3) and aluminum is an element. Therefore, there isn't a bond per se from aluminum to alumina... just aluminum-aluminum bonds and aluminum-oxygen bonds.

I do know that alumina will dissolve in a strong base solution, such as KOH or NaOH, and so if you have a layer of alumina on an aluminum sheet, a strong base solution will remove it. Also, a strong acid will dissolve the aluminum. (I do have to admit I'm not entirely sure what the effect of a strong base on aluminum and a strong acid on alumina is, though... and that might be a problem... hmm...)

What is the chemical compound of Alumina?

Alumina is a synthetically produced aluminum oxide, AL2O3. Its chemical compound consists of bauxite which is a combination of minerals found in aluminum oxides. Alumina is often used in smelting aluminum.


What is the name of the material form which alumina and aluminum is made?

The material from which alumina and aluminum are made is bauxite. Bauxite is a sedimentary rock that is the primary source of aluminum. Through a process called the Bayer process, alumina is extracted from bauxite, which is then used to produce aluminum.


Is alumina a element?

No, However, aluminum (sometimes written as aluminium) is an element. Alumina is an informal name for the compound aluminum oxide (Al2O3).


Can you yield Aluminum from Al2O3 and Hydrogen?

Yes, aluminum can be extracted from Al2O3 (alumina) using a process called the Hall-Héroult process, which involves electrolysis of molten alumina. Hydrogen is not typically used in the extraction of aluminum from alumina in industrial processes.

The definition of brown fused alumina can be a wide variety of use that includes bond. It is in abrasive wheel to grind high tensile strength materials.


Why alumina is stronger than aluminium?

Alumina is a ceramic material composed of aluminum oxide, which has a rigid structure with strong intermolecular bonding. This makes alumina stronger than aluminum, which is a metal with a more malleable and ductile structure. The crystalline nature of alumina allows for higher resistance to deformation and better mechanical properties compared to aluminum.
