I'm not sure though, but I think it is Al 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^1Why would I use 3p^1 and not 3s^3?
Extreme heat resistance, strong(er) as/than metal (depending on the material)It's very strong structurally, but fractures under impactWhich is fine for a space shuttle re-entryNot collisions :)
the s orbital is only able to hold 2 electrons.therefore the overflow must move into the p orbital.this is correct
