So reactive that any aluminium surface exposed to oxygen is oxidized. There is always alumina (micro-scopic layer) on aluminium surfaces. However, that layer seals the aluminium from further oxidation so you don't get a pile of alumina from a soda can!!

Aluminum is a highly reactive metal, despite its protective coating of oxide. If Aluminum is burned it will form Aluminum (III) oxide. Aluminum will react with halogens, acids, and bases.

A measure of reactivity is the electronegativity; in the Pauling system the value for aluminium is 1,61, a moderate reactivity.
