Aluminum (Al) is highly resistant to corrosion in air primarily because:
-
It is a noble metal
-
It does not react with oxygen
-
It forms a protective oxide layer
-
It is always found in pure form
📝 Detailed explanation
Aluminum reacts quickly with oxygen to form a thin, tough layer of Al₂O₃ that prevents further oxidation of the underlying metal.
