Explanation:
Though zinc is more reactive than iron but when a layer of zinc is exposed to the atmosphere zinc reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere to form zinc oxide. This zinc oxide forms a protective layer on the surface of zinc which prevents the further attack. Hence zinc is used to galvanize iron.
