A native element; antimony metal is extracted from stibnite ore and other minerals. Used as a hardening alloy for lead, especially storage batteries and cable sheaths; also used in bearing metal, type metal, solder, collapsible tubes and foil, sheet and pipes and semiconductor technology.auxite ore is the main source of aluminum and must be imported from Jamaica, Guinea, Brazil, Guyana, etc. Used in transportation (automobiles), packaging, building/construction, electrical, machinery and other uses.

Aluminum Chloride has a formula of #AlCl_3#. Aluminum typically is a cation and has an charge of #Al^(+3)#. Chlorine typically is an anion and has a charge #Cl^(-1)#. In order to bond ionically the charges must be equal and opposite. It will take three -1 chloride ions to balance one +3 aluminum ion forming an aluminum chloride molecule of #AlCl_3#.
