Mg, magnesium always is forming magnesium oxide as an outer shell, this is why when you sand it it often becomes more lustrous. Same goes for aluminium and iron forms rust when mixed with water however this is more gradual than an oxide layer, the iron hydroxide layer is clearly more visible. However, they all appear quite stable depending on what you mean by "least stable".
Potassium is very unstable as it is part of the alkali metals part of the periodic table, it will react to water, by blowing up.
Silver is the least stable metal among the options given. It is prone to tarnishing and reacting with sulfur compounds in the air. Aluminum, potassium, and iron are more stable compared to silver.
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
No, type C soil is not the least stable soil. Type C soil is moderately cohesive and may require some engineering considerations for excavation. Type D soil is considered the least stable soil due to its lack of cohesion and tendency to flow when excavated.
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.

Answer is potassium. You have seen silver,iron and aluminium. You must not have handled potassium.
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.
Silver is the least stable metal among the options given. It is prone to tarnishing and reacting with sulfur compounds in the air. Aluminum, potassium, and iron are more stable compared to silver.
Metals will LOSE electrons to become stable.
Tantalum, platinum and gold are very stable metals and have low reactivity.
Metals are generally more stable than non-metals due to their low ionization energy and tendency to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Non-metals, on the other hand, have higher electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes metals more likely to form stable compounds and exhibit metallic bonding, which contributes to their stability.
Non-metals can become stable through gaining electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, typically by forming covalent bonds with other non-metals or by accepting electrons from metals. This process allows non-metals to attain a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas and increase their overall stability.
Gold is the most stable out of the listed metals. Silver is also relatively stable, while zinc and potassium are more reactive.
The Alkali metals lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).
We arrange metals into an ordered list with the best reducing agent at the top and the worst reducing agent at the bottom. This is an Activity Series for metals. Metals near the top of the list give up electrons most easily. Those metals near the bottom of the list give up electrons with difficulty. Hydrogen, even though it is not a metal, can be placed in the list. Metals above hydrogen in the Activity Series will react with 1.0 Molar hydrochloric acid at room temperature. The Activity Series for metals is developed by experiment.A list of metals arranged in order of reactivity~APEX
