Day 2, Tuesday: Read about a new topic and explore on it.

I haven't done Chemistry as a subject nor will I ever (I'm a Physicist and I like the mathematics of science) but here are some facts on Aluminium:

• It's symbol is Al and has the atomic number 13.
• It's the 3rd most abundant element and the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust.
• It makes up 8% of the Earth's weight.
• It has remarkable low density that makes it able to resist corrosion.
• Ancient Greeks and Romans used aluminium salts to dress wounds (and alum is still used as a styptic).

Seriously though, it's Aluminium. There's only so much a person can read about a metal before they want to slam their head against said metal repeatedly out of boredom and/or insanity.
