What is aluminum used for based on it's reactivity?

Aluminium is highly reactive and if any comes into contact with air it quickly forms aluminium oxide. This means that aluminium is always covered in aluminium oxide, insulating it from the environment. Even when scratched the aluminium reforms the hermetic seal. Hence aluminium's uses are for situations where a metal that does not rust is required but using painted iron is not practical. This includes window-frames and aeroplane fuselages.


Why is that a piece of aluminium foil exposed to moist air does not corrode even though aluminium is more reactive than iron which easily rust?

Aluminium reacts very rapidly with the oxygen in the air to form a thin film of aluminium oxide covering the entire surface of the aluminium in the foil. This surface is invisible to the eye. Aluminium oxide is very resistant to chemical processes, like corrosion. It protects the aluminium underneath very well, so aluminium does not corrode in moist environments. If the aluminium is scratched, an new aluminium oxide film forms immediately, protecting the scratched part. Iron does not form a protective skin, because iron oxide has different chemical properties to aluminium oxide and is not able to protect the iron.
