Found words stay highlighted, so the grid gets easier to read as you go and the final few tend to fall quickly.
Aluminium word list, defined
- ALUMINIUM /ˌæl.jʊˈmɪn.i.əm/ · noun
- A lightweight, silvery-white metallic element (symbol Al, atomic number 13), the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust, used widely in construction, packaging, transport, and electronics.
- BAUXITE /ˈbɔːksaɪt/ (UK); /ˈboʊksaɪt/ (US) · noun
- An amorphous clay-like rock consisting chiefly of hydrated aluminium oxides and iron oxides; it is the principal ore from which aluminium is extracted. Related: aluminium ore, aluminum ore.
- ELECTROLYSIS /ɪˌlɛkˈtrɒlɪsɪs/ (UK), /ɪˌlɛkˈtrɑːləsɪs/ (US) · noun
- A process in which a direct electric current is passed through an electrolyte to bring about a chemical reaction, typically decomposing a compound into its constituent elements; also, the removal of body hair by destroying hair follicles with an electric current. Related: electrochemical decomposition, ionization, galvanolysis, electrolytic separation.
- ALUMINA /əˈluːmɪnə/ · noun
- Alumina is aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃), a white, odorless, crystalline compound occurring naturally as corundum and used chiefly in the production of aluminium metal, abrasives, ceramics, and refractory materials. Related: aluminium oxide, aluminum oxide, corundum.
- OXIDE /ˈɔksaɪd/ · noun
- A chemical compound that contains an oxide ion, typically formed by the reaction of an element with oxygen. Oxides can be found naturally or synthesized in a laboratory. Related: compound, chemical, substance.
- SULFATE /sʌlfɪeɪt/ · noun
- A salt or ester of sulphuric acid, typically used as a detergent or in the manufacture of glass and paper. Related: sulphate, sulfonate, salt, detergent.
- CHLORIDE /ˈklɔːraɪd/ · noun
- A compound of chlorine with another element or group, especially a binary compound such as sodium chloride. In physiology, chloride refers to the chloride ion (Cl⁻), an essential electrolyte in blood and body fluids. Related: salt, halide, electrolyte.
- NITRATE /ˈnaɪˌtreɪt/ · noun
- A salt or ester of nitric acid, or a compound containing the nitrate ion. A type of explosive or propellant. Related: nitrite, nitrate ion, saltpeter, nitric acid.
- PHOSPHATE /fəʊˈseɪt/ · noun
- A salt or ester of phosphoric acid, or a compound containing the phosphate ion. Related: phosphorus, phosphite, phosphonate, phosphinate.
- HALIDE /həlaɪd/ · noun
- A halide is a type of chemical compound that contains a halogen atom, such as chlorine or bromine, bonded to a metal or other nonmetal atom. Halides are commonly found in salts and are used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Related: halogenide, salt, chemical compound.
- CORROSION /kəˈroʊʒən/ · noun
- The gradual destruction or wearing away of a material, especially a metal, by chemical reaction with its environment, most commonly through oxidation such as rusting. Related: erosion, rust, oxidation, decay.
- ALLOY /ˈælɔɪ/ · noun
- A metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, or a metal and a nonmetal, to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion. As a verb, to alloy means to mix or blend metals in this way. Related: mixture, blend, compound, fusion.
