Aluminum foil is not a solid. It is not a solid because it CAN bend. like for example: water isn't a solid because it can bend, move, what ever you wanna say... so aluminum foil goes OVER things and fits on it's edges so like on a plate or some thing like that. A computer and a computer screen are both solids because they are hard and can't move unless you'd take it apart or break it. Although a wire can move and shift shape. it is still a solid. Because it it thick enough to be consider a solid.
Thanks for taking time to read or listen to my answer.

Why was it important to cover each beaker with a piece of aluminum foil?
so that the solution would not evaporate
Which will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?
Aluminium foil and potassium hydroxide in water solution are conductors.
Is aluminum foil a mixture or compound?
it is an element
Is aluminum foil homogeneous or heterogeneous?
aluminum foil is made of one element, aluminum. All elements are pure substanes, so that means they are homogenous. compounds are also homogeneous. mixtures are heterogeneous or homogeneous, depends if they are mixed up or the same thoughout (like air, like solutions, or like steel (melted iron and carbon frozen into a solid solution).
What is the chemical formula for aluminum foil?
The composition of aluminum foil is NOT 100% pure aluminum, as many people believe. You may have noticed that aluminum foil always seems dull on one side, and shiny on the other. This is caused by a naturally-occurring reaction. When Aluminum comes into contact with oxygen, the two elements undergo a spontaneous reaction: 4 Al(S) + 3 O2 (G) => 2 Al2O3 (S) The aluminum foil reacts with oxygen in the air to form a thin layer of Aluminum Oxide on one side of the foil. Because rolls of aluminum foil are generally rolled tightly, the inner side of the aluminum foil is not exposed to the air as much, and it remains shiny. In short, the composition of aluminum foil is pure aluminum (Al) AND aluminum oxide (AL2O3). (And don't worry-- the layer of aluminum oxide on aluminum foil is completely harmless. We've been using foil to cover food for years, after all.)
What state of mater is aluminum foil?
It is a solid.
Is aluminum foil an amorphus solid?
Aluminium is a metal and has a crystalline structure.
What are 4 physical properties of a piece of aluminum foil?
Malleable, brittle, ductile
Is a aluminum foil a compound or elements?
Aluminum is element. Aluminum foil is made entirely of aluminum.
How can something flexible(such as paper or aluminum foil) be considered a solid?
These materials doesn't flow as liquids.
Is aluminum foil an element?
Aluminum foil is made of Aluminum, which is an element. So yes Aluminum foil is a element
Why was it important to cover each beaker with a piece of aluminum foil?

Which will conduct electric current aluminum foil sugar or potassium hydroxide dissolved in water?
Aluminium foil and potassium hydroxide in water solution are conductors.
What elements is used in cookwear and cooking foil?
Tin foil... tin Aluminum foil... aluminum :)
Why do the pieces of aluminum foil have different masses?
Because all aluminum foil is not equal. Aluminum foil is available in a variety of thicknesses.
Why is aluminum a pure substance?
Only a single component makes up aluminum foil, which is the aluminum element. Hence, aluminum foil is considered as a pure substance.
Can you put aluminum foil in a microwave that has a metal rack?
No. The wire rack does not have enough surface area to cause a problem.. The foil is a solid surface and will reflect the microwaves.
