Answer:

It forms a oxide coat which is passive in nature which reduces its reactivity drastically.

Explanation:

Aluminium, as stated in your question is highly reactive. However on reacting with the oxygen in the air it forms aluminium oxide. This layer of aluminium oxide stays on the surface of the metal, preventing the aluminium from reacting further.

Also aluminium being a metal conducts heat very well and is also economically affordable.

welcome to my answer 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Aluminium (Al)

ATOMIC NUMBER : 13

PERIOD: 3rd

GROUP : 13th

Corrosion of Aluminium is an advantage because when Aluminium is exposed to moist air, its surface is covered with thin impervious layer of Aluminium oxide and thus protect metal from further damage.

Thus a common metal which is highly resistant to corrosion is aluminium.

4 Al + 3 O2 → 2 Al2O3
