  2. Aluminium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_compounds

    All three are prepared by direct reaction of their elements at about 1,000 °C (1,832 °F) and quickly hydrolyse completely in water to yield aluminium hydroxide and the respective hydrogen chalcogenide. As aluminium is a small atom relative to these chalcogens, these have four-coordinate tetrahedral aluminium with various polymorphs having ...

  3. Aluminium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_sulfate

    Aluminium sulfate may be used as a deodorant, an astringent, or as a styptic for superficial shaving wounds. [citation needed] Aluminium sulfate is used as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. It is a common vaccine adjuvant and works "by facilitating the slow release of antigen from the vaccine depot formed at the site of inoculation."

  4. Hall–Héroult process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall–Héroult_process

    Aluminium is the most abundant metallic element in the Earth's crust, but it is rarely found in its elemental state. It occurs in many minerals, but its primary commercial source is bauxite, a mixture of hydrated aluminium oxides and compounds of other elements such as iron.

  5. Aluminium selenide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_selenide

    Aluminium selenide is the inorganic compound with the formula Al 2 Se 3. ... giving off highly toxic hydrogen selenide gas: [4] Al 2 Se 3 + 3 H 2 O → Al 2 O 3 + 3 H ...

  6. Metal ions in aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_ions_in_aqueous_solution

    A metal ion in aqueous solution or aqua ion is a cation, dissolved in water, of chemical formula [M(H 2 O) n] z+. The solvation number , n , determined by a variety of experimental methods is 4 for Li + and Be 2+ and 6 for most elements in periods 3 and 4 of the periodic table .

  7. Aluminium (I) compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium(I)_compounds

    In chemistry, aluminium(I) refers to monovalent aluminium (+1 oxidation state) in both ionic and covalent bonds. Along with aluminium(II), it is an extremely unstable form of aluminium. While late Group 13 elements such as thallium and indium prefer the +1 oxidation state, aluminium(I) is rare.

  8. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air.

  9. Aluminium amalgam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_amalgam

    The presence of water in the solution is reportedly necessary; the electron rich amalgam will oxidize aluminium and generate hydrogen gas from water, creating aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH) 3) and free mercury. The electrons from the aluminium reduce mercuric Hg 2+ ion [clarification needed] to metallic mercury. The metallic mercury can then form ...
