There is no difference in the meaning. The spelling aluminium is the international chemical term recommended by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), in line with other names of elements (such as sodium, chromium, cadmium). In the US it is specifically spelled as aluminum. The pronunciation also varies. When it is spelled 'aluminium' it usually ends with the sounds 'nee-um'. When it is spelled 'aluminum' it is ends with the sound 'num'.

What is the difference between potassium and aluminum?
potassium belongs to group 1 and has one valence electron. aluminium belongs to group 13 and has three valence electrons.
What is the binary compound of AlCl?
AlCl3Although a metal-nometal compound, AlCl3 is not ionic (as might be predicted). Single covalent bonds form between aluminum and three chlorine atoms, forming AlCl3 molecules. Two of these join together (forming a 'dimer') with formula Al2Cl6. Aluminium bromide and aluminum iodide are similar in nature. However, aluminum fluoride is ionic. Why the difference in bonding? It all has to do with the difference in electronegativity of the elements:Al & F - difference of 2.37Al & Cl - difference of 1.55Al & Br - difference of 1.35Al & I - difference of 1.05Generally, if the difference in electronegativity is greater than 2.0 then the bond will be ionic. If less than 2.0, then the bond will be covalent.
Could plus 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding three protons to an aluminum atom?
The difference between Al and Al+3 is that the ion has lost 3 electrons, therefore it has 3 more protons than electrons, hence granting it a charge of +3.
