It is a post-transition metal, meaning it falls into the p-block of the periodic table. Aluminum is known for its low density and corrosion resistance, achieved through the formation of a protective oxide layer on its surface. It is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, making up about 8% of its mass. Pure aluminum is soft and malleable, but it is often alloyed with other elements like copper, magnesium, silicon, and zinc to increase its strength.
The primary ore from which aluminum is extracted is bauxite. The extraction process, known as the Hall-Héroult
