Why do gold and silver not corrode in moist air |
| Answer» The reason for this is that gold and silver COME towards the very END of the list of reactive metals found in the reactivity series. Because of this, they are not of capable of bonding with oxygen UNLIKE the elements that are at the beginning of the series.
