"Aluminium exposed.Aluminium is soft ,lightweight and ductile with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is highly reactive,through the metal is protected by a surface layer of inert transparent oxide that forms rapidly in air,providing excellent corrosion resistance."

Explanation:
Shifting atoms
structure changes just enough to become chemically inert and thus unable to react rapidly with additional water molecules or atmospheric oxygen. This change in molecular structure is why aluminum oxide metal resists corrosion.
