I know nothing about physics, but I just can't see this is. They are both different elements. Metals in their own right. Please can a physicist tell me because it's bugging me.
Not a physicist but yes, Aluminium and Lead are indeed elements in their own right, were they to be combined we'd be talking about an alloy (metal compound).
As I recall at least.
