Answer:

Aluminium.

Explanation:

Aluminium, at room temperature reacts with Oxygen and forms a protective layer of Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) at its surface and makes it a 'Passive metal'.

Passive metals are less readily reactive due to these layers formed on their surfaces, the advantage is that by such layers, the process of corrosion is evaded.
