aluminum
Lightweight silvery element
Aluminum is a lightweight, silvery metal—the most abundant metallic element in Earth's crust.
It resists corrosion and conducts heat and electricity well, making it useful for everything from beverage cans to aircraft bodies to electrical wiring.
The British spelling is aluminium.
