Aluminium oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (368 words)
Aluminium oxide is responsible for metallic aluminium's resistance to weathering.
Powdered aluminium oxide is frequently used as a medium for chromatography.
Aluminium oxide is the main component of bauxite, the principal ore of aluminium.
Aluminium - definition of Aluminium in Encyclopedia (2580 words)
Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is the chemical element in the periodic table with the symbol Al and atomic number 13.
Aluminium is a soft and lightweight but strong metal with a dull silver-gray appearance, due to a thin layer of oxidation that forms quickly when it is exposed to air and which prevents further corrosion.
Aluminium oxide, Al, occurs naturally as corundum, and can be made by burning aluminium in oxygen or by heating the hydroxide, nitrate or sulphate.
