It might also help to inform them that it takes a tremendous amount of electricity to separate aluminum from bauxite, the ore in which aluminum exists in nature. Much, much less energy is needed to recover aluminum from existing aluminum products, like cans.

The aluminum family belongs to Group 13 of the periodic table, also known as the boron group. This group includes elements like boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium. These elements typically have three electrons in their outermost shell and exhibit similar chemical properties. The aluminum family is known for its reactivity and the formation of various compounds, particularly in the context of metallurgy and materials science.
Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth's crust and is not in the boron family. Aluminum is in the boron family and is the third most abundant element in the earth's crust. Refer to the related link for a list of the 10 most abundant elements in the earth's crust and their percentages.
