The Internet Resources

Very Simple Idea for none Chemistry background
- Aluminum (Element) - In this website it tells that the very basic and simple information about Aluminum. It is a website that for none chemical background people to catch a picture of Aluminum. For example it tells you that the symbol of Aluminum is Al. The ancient Greeks and Romans used Aluminum in medicines.
- Chem4kid - According to the title of the website, it can tells that it gives you the information of Aluminum very easily and simply. For example, the thing you wrap with your sandwich everyday is Aluminum foil. Aluminum gets really strong when it combined with other metals. Aluminum is also the material that engineer uses to build planes and ships. Aluminum is purified and isolated by Wohler in 1827. Aluminum is located in the Boron family in the periodic table.
- Visual Elements-Aluminum - In this website it tells you that Aluminum is worth wild because it dose not rust. What is more it can recycle easily. And it is wildly use for window frames, aircraft parts, engines, kegs, cooking oil, drinks cans, etc because of its lightweight and tough. Foods that contain Aluminum have tea, processed cheese, lentils and sponge cakes. It also tells you that cooking in Aluminum made equipment dose not increase the amount of Aluminum of the food. It also shows you the instruction of Aluminum by video
- What is Aluminum - It tells you that the history of Aluminum is quite old. In the early centuries Aluminum had been used already. Ancient Egypt used in pottery and glazes. The Romans used Aluminum in the form of substances they called Alum. It also tells you that Aluminum is an extremely lightweight metal. Although it is a lightweight metal it has very strong alloys.
Deeper Information
- Aluminum1 - It talks about the history of Aluminum. It tells the atomic number of Aluminum. The atomic number of Aluminum is 13. It tells the electron configuration of Aluminum. The electron configuration of Aluminum is [Ne]3s23p1. It tells the melting and boiling point of Aluminum. The melting point of Aluminum is 660.32ºC and boiling point is 2519ºC. It tells the physical properties of Aluminum. Aluminum is a silvery-white metal for example.
- Aluminum2 - This website tells about the general information about Aluminum. There is also some information about the states in different temperature. It tells the appearance of Aluminum. Aluminum is face-centered cubic. And it is silvery. This website gives several reactions with different kinds of acid. For example it produces AlCl3 when it react with HCl. It tells that usually cost for Aluminum is that 1.8$/100g.
- Chemistry - In this website it shows different name of Aluminum in different countries. In this website it tells us that Aluminum’s standard state is solid at 298K. In this website it also shows a picture of Aluminum. Something interesting, in this website it contains a comic about Aluminum. In this website it tells that the isolation of Aluminum. The Aluminum normally made in the laboratory is not so readily and available commercially. The Aluminum is often mined as bauxite, Al2O3.2H2O.
- Hsu Studios - In this website it tells you that although Aluminum is the most plentiful metal in the earth’s crust, it can only extracted from bauxite, Al2O3.2H2O. In this website it tells you that the major producer of bauxites are Australia, Guinea, Jamaica, and Brazil. In this website it tells you that Aluminum was found late till 1820 because it won’t combined with other metals in nature. In this website it tells you that now Aluminum is in very limited supply.
- Periodic Table of Element - In this website it tells you the basic stuff about Aluminum. The group of Aluminum is 13, and the period of Aluminum is 3. It also shows you that in different country the called Aluminum in different way. It shows you the picture of crystal structure of Aluminum. It shows you the structure of electrons per energy level of Aluminum. That is 2, 8, 3. It also gives some brief history about Aluminum that it was found by Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish chemist.
- The Element Aluminum - In this website it tells a lot of information about Aluminum. It is a good website for people who wand to learn deeply about Aluminum. There has a picture about Aluminum. Aluminum has a dull silver-gray appearance. In this website it also tells you the oldest suspected of Aluminum. The story is about a goldsmith in Rome found a new type of metal that the emperor was very interested in. In this website it also tells you the isotopes of Aluminum. All the isotopes of Aluminum only Al-27 and Al-26 are occur naturally.
- eFunda - It gives you some general physic information about Aluminum. The atomic weight of Aluminum is 26.981539g. The density of Aluminum is 2700 kg/m3. The melting temperature of Aluminum is 933.47 K. The boiling temperature of Aluminum is 2792.15 K. The critical temperature of Aluminum is 7850 K.
History
- It’s Elemental-The Element - In this website it tells about the basic information and knowledge about Aluminum. In this website also tells about the history of Aluminum. It tells about the uses of Aluminum. Today, Aluminum are often used to product cans, foils, and kitchen utensils. It tells that Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It teaches us that Aluminum was found by a Danish chemist named Hans Chrisrian Oersted in 1825.
Manufacturing
- Aluminum-An Essential - It shows you that many things you use in today are made from Aluminum. Airplanes, toast machine, computer, bomb, printer, can, trash, and can for example. Some exciting news that 50% of the Aluminum cans in the US today are products of recycling. It gives some information that how Aluminum is produced. Click on the bottom it will shows you clearly picture and steps of how to produce Aluminum. In this website it shows the history of Aluminum very clearly.
- How Aluminum is made - It tells us that Aluminum conducts heat and electricity. It also reflects heat and light. It tells that Aluminum is strong but easily workable. It also tells that Aluminum can easily and economically be recycled. It tells us some Aluminum background. It says that the best way to produce pure Aluminum is bauxite. It shows a picture of how to producing Aluminum. It also show detail process of manufacturing Aluminum.
How it come from
- Chemical of the Week - It talks about that Aluminum is the third abundant element in the Earth crust. It also talks about how it becomes the third abundant in the Earth crust. It tells about what kind of structures do Aluminum stays in the environment. It tells that around how many compound does Aluminum has. The experiment how the Aluminum exist on earth. Many chemical reaction of Aluminum.
