Aluminum is exactly as reactive as it is in the reactivity series. However, when aluminum reacts, with oxygen for instance, a thin layer of aluminum oxide builds up on the outside of the aluminum metal. This prevents more oxygen from reaching unreacted aluminum metal. This prevents the reaction from proceeding further, thus effectively protecting the aluminum metal from further reaction.

Which is the less reactive - aluminum or lithium?
Aluminium is much less reactive than Lithium.
Is copper more reactive then aluminium?
No, copper is less reactive than aluminum.
Does magnesium react with aluminium sulphate?
No.Mg is less reactive than aluminum,therefore mg solution will not react with aluminum metal.
Why is carbon not used for reducing aluminum from aluminum oxide?
because aluminium is more reactive than carbon (open "reactive series" in internet).
Is aluminum more reactive than chromium?
Yes, aluminum is more reactive than chromium. This would be the case in both a reactivity series or electrochemical series. Please see the related link for more information.
Is chromium more reactive than aluminum?
Yes, aluminum is more reactive than chromium. This would be the case in both a reactivity series or electrochemical series. Please see the related link for more information.
Is zinc less reactive with potassium based from activity series of metals?
Yes, zinc is LESS reactive than potassium based on the activity series.
Is aluminium less reactive than magnesium?
Yes aluminum is less reactive than magnesium it is less reactive because as you read left to right on the periodic table the elements become less reactive because they get more electrons on their valence shells hope this helps you
Is bronze more reactive than aluminium?
Bronze is not an element, it is an alloy (mixture) of copper and tin. Both are less reactive than aluminum.
Is calcium sulfide more or less reactive to aluminum?
Chemistry of calcium Calcium is generally more reactive than magnesium
Why is aluminum less reactive than zinc?
When aluminum is produced in a metallic form, it immediately reacts with the oxygen in the air, forming a monomolecular layer of aluminum oxide on its surface, and it is the aluminum oxide which is relatively non-reactive, and which prvents the metallic aluminum from undergoing further reactions. However, aluminum is actually more reactive than zinc, as long as it is allowed to react.
Does magnesium sulphate react with aluminium?
No.Mg is less reactive than aluminum,therefore mg solution will not react with aluminum metal.
