Solution

The two special characteristics of aluminium are:

  1. Extreme Lightness Combined with Strength: It possesses a remarkably low density, making it extremely lightweight, but it also has incredible strength when alloyed with other metals.
  2. High Resistance to Corrosion: It naturally forms a protective oxide coating on its surface, preventing rusting and degradation, making it extremely durable even in harsh environments.
