A piece of aluminum foil has a fixed mass and volume, it is flexible, and it is a metal that can conduct electricity.
4 physical properties of a piece of aluminum foil are: thickness, density, malleability, mass.
Iron rusting and gasoline burning are chemical properties as they involve chemical reactions that change the chemical makeup of the substances. Cutting a piece of wood is a physical property because it does not change the composition of the wood, only its physical shape. Aluminum reacting with foil paper is a chemical property as it involves a chemical reaction that alters the composition of the substances involved.
Standard aluminum foil is typically around 0.016 mm thick.
Tearing a piece of tin foil is a physical change because the substance's chemical composition remains the same before and after tearing. The appearance and physical structure of the tin foil may change, but no new substances are formed during the tearing process.
No, magnets do not attract aluminum foil because aluminum is not a magnetic material. Magnets are attracted to materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
No, aluminum foil is not an element. Aluminum is an element, but aluminum foil is a product made from thin sheets of aluminum metal.
