Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Aluminum. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of Al?
In the case of Aluminum the abbreviated electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p1. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Aluminum that most people don't know.
Learn more about the atomic number.
Learn more about the atomic mass.

AlUses
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.Atomic Number
