Iron pipes, lying in acidic soil, are often attached to the blocks of magnesium for their protection from rusting, because magnesium

• is lighter than iron

• is readily converted into positive ion

• forms a corrosion-resistant alloy with iron

• prevents air from reaching the surface of iron

• K

• I

• Cl

• Li
