When sandwiched between lithium and a hydride group, this element is part of a powerful reducing agent.
When sandwiched between lithium and a hydride group, this element is part of a powerful reducing agent. Ziegler-Natta catalysts typically consist of a mixture of titanium compounds and compounds of this element. It was first isolated by Hans Christian (*) Oersted, and commercial production of this element uses the Bayer process followed by the Hall-Heroult process to refine this element's principle ore, bauxite. For 10 points, name this most abundant metal in the earth's crust with atomic number 13 and symbol Al.
