Question

what are the properties of the aluminum in the can? check all that apply. it conducts electricity well. it is solid. it is brittle. it does not react easily with water or air. it is less dense than water. done

Explanation:

• Aluminum is a metal. Metals generally conduct electricity well (so "It conducts electricity well" applies).
• Aluminum in a can is in solid state at room temperature (so "It is solid" applies).
• Aluminum is malleable, not brittle (so "It is brittle" does not apply).
• Aluminum has a protective oxide layer, so it does not react easily with water or air (so "It does not react easily with water or air" applies).
• Aluminum has a density of about 2.7 g/cm³, while water is 1 g/cm³, so aluminum is more dense than water (so "It is less dense than water" does not apply).

Answer:

• It conducts electricity well.
• It is solid.
• It does not react easily with water or air.
