Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the atomic number of aluminum?

   Hint

   Refer to the periodic table.

2. 2.

   Name the type of crystal structure aluminum has.

   Hint

   Think about how atoms are arranged in its structure.

3. 3.

   What is the atomic weight of aluminum?

   • 26.98
   • 27.00
   • 28.00

   Hint

   Consider the standard atomic weights provided in chemistry resources.

4. 4.

   Corrosion resistance in aluminum is primarily due to?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about how the protective layer works in different environments.

5. 5.

   Explain how aluminum's FCC structure can lead to its use in extreme weather conditions. Give an example of a real-world application.

   Hint

   Analyze both structural integrity and weight in your explanation.

6. 6.

   Design a scenario for a civil engineering project where aluminum’s properties will be leveraged. Explain how you would address potential corrosion issues.

   Hint

   Think about materials used near water and how they are treated.
