• Color? Odor? Density? State of Matter at Room Temperature? Texture? Melting and Boiling Points?, etc… The color is usually a silvery.
Chemical Properties (3)
Delete the questions below as you place research here
• How reactive is your element? (Will it combine with other elements/compounds?) aluminum is very reactive. yes it will http://www.webelements.com/aluminium/chemistry.html with other elements and compounds • What types of substances does your element react with, and what substances are produced during the reaction? If the oxide layer is damaged, the aluminium metal is exposed to attack, even by water. Aluminum metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form aluminium halides. So, it reacts with chlorine, Cl2, bromine, I2, and iodine, I2, to form respectively aluminium(III) chloride, AlCl3, aluminium(III) bromide, AlBr3, and aluminium(III) iodide, AlI3.
• What other elements are chemically similar to your element? any element in the same column as aluminum
