Properties-
Aluminum is the 13 element on the periodic table. It has high
malleability and ductility, high electrical conductivity, high thermal
conductivity, and high resistance to corrosion. Some useful alloys that are
useful are aluminum bronze, alnico, and aluminum alloy, ect. Aluminum is

.... metallic constituent in the crust of the Earth. It is never found
as a non-metal. It occurs most commonly as aluminum silicate or as a

decomposed electronically into a crude molten metal.
