5. Characteristics and Properties
■ Soft, strong, and lightweight metal.
■ Silvery-gray Color.
■ Reactive element & rarely found on Earth in its free form.
■ Highly conductive
■ Non-magnetic.
■ When it is exposed to the air, a thin layer of aluminum
oxide is formed on the surface of the metal.
■ This prevents further corrosion and rusting.
■ Low density - which is only around three times that of
water.
■ Ductility - which allows it to be stretched into a wire
■ Malleability - easily formed into a thin sheet.

thousands of products.

9. Interesting Facts about Aluminum
■ It makes up around 8% of the Earth's crust by weight.
■ Aluminum is 100% recyclable and maintains the same physical
properties after recycling as the original aluminum.
■ When aluminum(Al) reacts with hydrochloric acid(Hcl), it
produces hydrogen gas(H).
■ Recycling aluminum takes only around 5% of the energy it
takes to extract aluminum from the ore bauxite.
