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".

What metals is least stable aluminum silver iron potassium?
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.
Which of the following metals is the least stable Silver Potassium Iron or Aluminum?
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.
Atoms of metals do what with electrons to become stable while atoms nonmetals tend to do what to electrons to become stable?
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
Is type c soil the least stable soil?
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.
Explain why metals react with non-metals.?
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.
How does the activity series of metal reflect the stability of metals?
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.
What metals is least stable aluminum silver iron potassium?
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.
Which of the following metals is least stable of potassium silver iron and aluminium?
Answer is potassium. You have seen silver,iron and aluminium. You must not have handled potassium.
How does activity series of metals reflect the stability of metals?
The metals highest on the list are the least stable.
Which of the following metals is the least stable Silver Potassium Iron or Aluminum?
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.
Do metals usually gain or loose electrons to be stable?
Metals will LOSE electrons to become stable.
What metals are very stable and have low reactivity?
Tantalum, platinum and gold are very stable metals and have low reactivity.
Which is more stable non metals or metals?
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.
How do non metals become stable?
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.
What metals is the most stable gold zinc silver potassium?
Gold is the most stable out of the listed metals. Silver is also relatively stable, while zinc and potassium are more reactive.
Which group of metals on the periodic table is the least stable and consequently its elements are found in nature only in compounds?
The Alkali metals lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).
How does the activity series of metals reflect the stability of metals?
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
