Aluminum is an element.
Aluminum metal is too soft to use for many applications so you will probably find
varying amounts of magnesium and silicon and other elements alloyed with it to
toughen it up.
==============================
Aluminum ... the most abundant metal in the earth's crust ... is an element,
not a compound of other elements.

=Yes Aluminum Oxide Al2O3 IS a compound a chemical substance consisting of two or more chemical elements.=
Not at all. Aluminum oxide is a compound of aluminum, not an allotrope. An allotrope of aluminum would still be called aluminum, but sometimes we distinguish allotropes by assigning numbers, such as sulfur-1, sulfur-2, etc. It refers to the specific structure which the atoms form (such as crystaline vs. amorphous).
Al2O3 is the chemical formula of aluminium oxide.
Al2O3 - aluminum oxide (dialuminium trioxide); this oxide is not a cation or anion but a chemical molecular substance.
Aluminum oxide has a chemical formula of Al2O3, which means there are 2 aluminum atoms and 3 oxygen atoms in each molecule of aluminum oxide.
No, aluminum oxide is not an element. Indeed, nothing called an "oxide" can be an element, as this term indicates that the substance is combined with oxygen and is therefore a compound, not an element.
=Yes Aluminum Oxide Al2O3 IS a compound a chemical substance consisting of two or more chemical elements.=
No, However, aluminum (sometimes written as aluminium) is an element. Alumina is an informal name for the compound aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
Al2O3 is a compound, not an element. It is known as aluminum oxide and it is composed of aluminum and oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio.
Not at all. Aluminum oxide is a compound of aluminum, not an allotrope. An allotrope of aluminum would still be called aluminum, but sometimes we distinguish allotropes by assigning numbers, such as sulfur-1, sulfur-2, etc. It refers to the specific structure which the atoms form (such as crystaline vs. amorphous).
When molten aluminum oxide is electrolyzed, it forms aluminum metal at the cathode and oxygen gas at the anode. This process is used in the extraction of aluminum from bauxite ore.
Al is the symbol for Aluminum and O is the symbol for oxygen. When oxygen is paired in a compound, it is changed to oxide. The name then is aluminum oxide.
Gold is a very unreactive element, so it occurs as gold metal in nature. However, aluminum is more reactive, and so it occurs in aluminum ore (aluminum oxide) in nature, not as aluminum metal.
Yes. Aluminum nitrate is a compound with the formula Al(NO3)3
Aluminum is a pure element, so it does not exist as a compound. In compounds, aluminum can be found combined with other elements, such as oxygen in aluminum oxide (Al2O3) or chlorine in aluminum chloride (AlCl3).
No, aluminum oxide is not magnetic.
Al2O3 is the chemical formula of aluminium oxide.
