Actually aluminum is a little unstable. Its electronic configuration is 2,8,3. To be stable an element needs to have a full outer electron shell so to become stable Aluminium needs to lose 3 electrons to become 2,8 so it will have a full outer shell (8 electrons)

∙ 12y agoYes. Aluminium (Al) is a very safe and stable element. Generally, any element after atomic number 83 is considered unstable or radioactive. Aluminium is what 97% of average kitchen foil is made of, if it were unstable, it wouldn't be used in the kitchen

Which is more metallic aluminum or silicon?
Aluminum, of course. Silicon is a metalloid while Aluminum is a metal.
Is silicon more reactive than sulfur?
Because Aluminum comes before Silicon in the dictionary
What is an isotope with 14 protons and 16 neutrons?
The natural stable isotope of silicon, 30Si, has 14 protons and 16 neutrons.
How many more electrons does silicon need in order to have a stable octet?
Silicon, like carbon, has four valance electrons, and needs another four to have a stable octet.
How does silicon become stable?
Elements get stable only when it completes electron octate in its outermost orbit. Elements make compounds with other elements to gain or reduce electrons to get stability. silicon make bonds with oxygen and make silicon dioxide to get stable.
Is carbon a more stable element than silicon?
Silicon is more stable.
Which is more metallic aluminum or silicon?
Aluminum, of course. Silicon is a metalloid while Aluminum is a metal.
What element has more neutrons Aluminum or Silicon?
Aluminum has 13 protons and 13 or 14 neutrons. Silicon has 14 protons, and 14 to 18 neutrons.
Is silicon more reactive than sulfur?
Because Aluminum comes before Silicon in the dictionary

Why germanium is better than silicon?
products made by silicon are more stable than those made by germanium
Why is silicon a better semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is a good semi conductor than germanium because silicon is more readily available, cheaper and stable.
How does silicon become stable?
Elements get stable only when it completes electron octate in its outermost orbit. Elements make compounds with other elements to gain or reduce electrons to get stability. silicon make bonds with oxygen and make silicon dioxide to get stable.
How do silicon and aluminum differ?
Aluminium is a metal, silicon is a metalloid.
Why is aluminum oxide used more frequently than silicon carbide as an abrasive?

When aluminum-27 is bombarded with a neutron a gamma ray is emitted What radioactive isotope is produced?
Aluminum-27 + n -> Aluminum-28 + gamma raywith a 2.3 minute half life Aluminum-28 -> beta- + Silicon-28Silicon-28 is stable.You have now transmuted one stable element to another.
