The great Aluminum, Atomic Number is 13. It can be found mostly in Australia, mostly, it can also be found in Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, and Brazil. Used by food like Fancy plates and such because of it being non-toxic. It was discovered in 1825 by a Danish man named \" Hans Christian Ørsted \" but scientists thought there was a metal that was unknown to them in 1787.



Aluminum is very recyclable and when melted and molded it can be just like new. It takes 60 days to get recycled and put back into the molds and used again! Aluminum is durable, lightweight, witch is probably why people make most airplanes out of them. It is non-magnetic so it won\'t stick to one of those big magnets at junkyards. Aluminum can also be found in electric wiring because it\'s a electric conductor, also copper is used in electric wiring too!



Aluminum does not corrode because it has a thin layer of Aluminium Oxide(Aluminum and Aluminium look a lot alike) Aluminium Oxide is formed when bare Aluminum is exposed to the air. Fun Fact: 1 aluminum can power a television for around 2 hours!
