What elements are in aluminum foil?
Aluminum foil is not an element as the foil has a small amount of other stuff added to it to make it an alloy. Aluminum element would only have aluminum atoms and no other compounds added to it. An alloy has two or more metals together.
Why is foil a good insulator?
Foil is considered to be a good insulator since it has the ability to reflect radiation. However, aluminium foil is commonly used as a conductor and not an insulator.
What is aluminum foil used for?
usually to smoke off of.
What happens when you fold aluminum foil to small piece?
When you fold aluminum foil into a small piece, it can be used to charge a dead battery. The electrical charge is present when it is folded up.
What is the difference between tin foil and aluminum foil?
Aluminum and tin are two different elements. They have different physical and chemical properties. Tin is element 50. Aluminum is element 13. Tin is denser and has a lower melting point than aluminum. Tin can reach 2+ and 4+ oxidation states while aluminum can only achieve the 3+ oxidation state.

What is a metal that foil is NOT typically made with?
Foil is usually made of Aluminum and maybe sometimes some form of steel. Metals like Magnesium or Tungsten wouldn't be used in foil.
Which element is used in foil?
What kind of foil? The stuff you get in the supermarket to wrap sandwiches is mostly aluminum (although it contains other elements - both added intentionally and picked up from the recycling process that a lot of aluminum goes through) but "foil" is just paper-thin sheet metal so any metal malleable enough to roll down to a few thousandths of an inch thickness, and strong enough to hold together when it's rolled that thin, can be made into foil. There's gold foil, silver foil, copper foil, tin foil - yes, "tin foil" that's really made out of tin exists - lead foil, iron foil, steel foil...Aluminium is the metal used in foil. Its symbol is Al. Its atomic number is 13.

Can you heat aluminum foil in a microwave?
No. The metal will reflect the microwave energy. The problem with metal of any sort (whether aluminum foil or silverware) is that it can produce an arc inside the cavity of the oven. This can start a fire, and it presents an enormous hazard. Can you use aluminum foil in a microwave oven? Read on. Though it is possibe to use aluminum foil inside a microwave oven, it should only be used if the manufacturer's instructions tell the user how to do it (and the user follows the directions). The microwave oven isn't a good choice to heat the foil itself. Aluminum foil (or any metal foil) will reflect the microwaves and not get hot. If the foil is crumpled or if the foil is near the metal wall of the cavity, that foil can act as an antenna, and the voltages can be extremely high causing arcing. That's bad. It could start a fire. Using a microwave just to heat foil is a poor choice.
