Which of the following would instantly react with chlorine?(a) Copper(b) Magnesium(c) Iron(d) AluminumThis question was addressed to me during an internship interview.I want to ask this question from P-Block Elements topic in chapter P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (B) Magnesium

Explanation: Out of the four metals GIVEN, magnesium will readily lose electrons due to its relatively higher REACTIVITY. Copper and IRON are not affected by gaseous or liquid chlorine. Lastly, aluminum forms a tough, passive oxide LAYER which prevents it from reacting with external reagents.
