Ionization Potential of Aluminum (Al) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Ionization potention is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from Aluminum. But what is the ionization potential of an atom of Al?

Note: Learn more about the ionization potential here.

In the case of Aluminum the first ionization potential is 5.9858 V. There are cool and interesting facts about Aluminum that most people don't know about. Including the possibility of different ionization potentials. Check this...

Aluminum Data

Aluminum First Ionization Potential

5.9858 V

Second Ionization Potential

18.828 V

Third Ionization Potential

28.447 V

State at 20 °C

Solid

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.

Atomic Mass

26,981539

Sources

Never occurs in free form. Obtained by electrolysis from bauxite (Al2O3).

Description

Soft, lightweight, silvery-white metal. Third most abundant element in the earth's crust.

Atomic Symbol

Al

Name Origin

Latin: alumen, aluminis, (alum).

Atomic Number

13

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

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. "Ionization Potential of Aluminum (Al) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." 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.
