All atoms have a period number assigned, even Aluminum. Ok but how do we know what is the period name for an atom of Al?
If we know the symbol, let's say Al, we may then open any periodic table and search for Aluminum. Any decent periodic table should have the period numbers when you scroll left starting from the element you found.
In the case of Aluminum the period number is 3. There is a lot of cool stuff about Aluminum that people simply don't know. Let me show you...

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Period Number of Aluminum (Al) (& Location, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.

Discovery
Discovered By: Hans Christian OerstedYear: 1825

SolidDescription
Soft, lightweight, silvery-white metal. Third most abundant element in the earth's crust.Atomic Symbol
AlName Origin
Latin: alumen, aluminis, (alum).Sources
Never occurs in free form. Obtained by electrolysis from bauxite (Al2O3).Uses
Used for many purposes from airplanes to beverage cans. Too soft in its pure form so less than 1% of silicon or iron is added, which hardens and strengthens it.Want to learn more details and data about Aluminum (Al)? Check my Elements Comprehensive List.
