Answer
(c) Aluminium is a highly reactive metal, yet it is used to make utensils for cooking.
- Aluminium is a highly reactive metal
- It reacts readily with oxygen to form Aluminium Oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) which is very stable .
- This layer protects Aluminium from further damage or corrosion .
- This layer of Aluminium oxide doesn’t react with food while cooking, that is why it is used to make utensils for cooking.
