Vedclass · Answer

(D) Aluminum $(Al)$ is a metal that typically forms covalent bonds due to its high polarizing power,making its compounds predominantly covalent rather than ionic. $Al$ is indeed a light metal with high tensile strength. $Al$ acts as a strong reducing agent,often used in the thermite process. $Al$ reacts with steam at high temperatures to form aluminum oxide $(Al_2O_3)$ and hydrogen gas $(H_2)$. Therefore,the statement that $Al$ does not react with steam even at high temperatures is incorrect.
