∙ 12y agoIt is a light and very strong metal, which is ridiculously difficult to extract from its ore due to its incredibly high reactivity with oxygen. Aluminum was so rare and hard to produce, that a solid block was even displayed with the crown jewels in the 1800's.
We use aluminum everywhere! ie. cans, aeroplane fuselages, drink bottles, pots and pans - just to name a few.
...If you mean't cool as in temperature wise... Then i guess you could say that Al has many valence electrons, which in a metal, can easily distribute heat (or lack of heat). Al, being a metal, would have a relatively low specific heat.
