Al is the least reactive metal among these.

this is because Na and Mg have lesser no. of electrons in their outer shell ( Al has 3, Na has 1 & Mg has 2 ) , this makes them more reactive as t is easir 2 lose lesser no. of electrons on gain noble gas configuration
Hope it helps you dear

rohitkumargupta: hoe
rohitkumargupta: but you ask
rohitkumargupta: least reactive
rohitkumargupta: then
maheshwaranlupp0yaxy: Al is least reactive among those 3 elements
rohitkumargupta: ya right

Hlo... ✌

....Here's ur answer....

⏩ Aluminum is the least reactive....

EXPLANATION -----

⭐ Electronic Configuration of Aluminum:: 2, 8, 3

⭐Electronic Configuration of Magnesium:: 2, 8, 2

⭐Electronic Configuration of Sodium:: 2, 8, 1

⏩We know that elements always want to obtain stability....
⏩To obtain stability the outermost shell of an element should be filled....

♦In these 3 cases we can able to see that if

➡Al loses its 3 electrons in its outermost shell it can obtain noble gas configuration....

➡Mg loses its 2 electrons in its outermost shell it can obtain noble gas configuration....

➡Na loses its 1 electrons in its outermost shell it can obtain noble gas configuration....

♦So....Here ,

Al is least reactive compared to Mg and Na...
