    The excess reactant is Aluminum.

    Explanation:

    We have to write the balanced equation as,

    4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

    According to the molar ratio 4: 3, from the given balanced equation, we can say that 4 atoms of Al reacted with 3 molecules of oxygen.

    Given that 10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen, as per the ratio only 8 atoms of Aluminum is required to react with 6 molecules of oxygen, so excess reactant is Aluminum.
