Explain the apparent unreactivity of aluminium in terms of its oxide layer
Describe the ease of obtaining metals from their ores, related to the position of the metal in the reactivity series
Describe the uses of metals in terms of their physical properties, including: (a) aluminium in the manufacture of aircraft because of its low density (b) aluminium in the manufacture of overhead electrical cables because of its low density and good electrical conductivity (c) aluminium in food containers because of its resistance to corrosion (d) copper in electrical wiring because of its good electrical conductivity and ductility
