Au or Pt are highly stable and they are noble metals as they do not react with oxygen readily
Au and Pt are some metals which do not react with O.
Generally precious metals as Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Ir.
Anode mud is considered precious because it contains valuable metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. These metals are recovered from the anode mud through various refining processes. Due to their high value and limited supply, the recovery of these metals from anode mud is economically advantageous and environmentally sustainable.
There are 7 elements in group I of the PT. From Hydrogen(1) to Francium(87)
For example platinum group of metals: Pt, Ir, Os, Pd, Rh, Ru.
The highly reactive non-metals are in the halogen group. They just need one more electron to fill the octet. Therefore they are highly reactive. For example fluorine and chlorine. And the highly reactive metals are placed in the first group (alkali metals). For example Sodium and potassium.
The right most column, Group 8*, or the noble gases are the least reactive elements in the periodic table these are:platinumgoldmercurythalliumleadbismuthpolonium
There is no "group" of metals that are unreactive. However, metals that are low on the reactivity series are unreactive. Examples: Gold, Silver, Titanium The Noble gasses are a group on the periodic table that are largely unreactive.
That is not a very precise question. I will assume first, that you mean metallic elements, since 'metals' would include brass, bronze, pewter, and steel! The other thing that would be needed are sharp dividing lines between "very reactive" and "fairly reactive", and between metallic and semi-metallic elements. And finally, does the question mean [b]always[/b] found as ores? Copper [b]can[/b] be found as the metal in nature, but it is now very rare, and copper ores are the usual source of copper metal. Gold is nearly always found as the metal, but there is a rare gold telluride ore. Have a modern (IUPAC) periodic table in front of you for the rest of this answer. Group 1 contains only very reactive metals. Be from group 2 is arguably only fairly reactive; the other elements in this group are very reactive. Group 3, including all of the lanthanide and actinide elements, would count as very reactive, as would Ti from group 4. Zr and Hf are borderline between fairly and very reactive. Groups 5 to 12 would all count as fairly reactive metals, but Os, Ir, Pt, Au are usually found as metals rather than ores, while Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Hg, and Cu are sometimes found as metals. From group 13 Al and Tl count as very reactive, Ga and In as very/fairly borderline, while B is not a metal. In groups 14, 15, and 16, only Sn, Pb, Bi, and Po could be counted as metals, and they would only be fairly reactive. There are no metals in groups 17 and 18.
AnswerIt is a transitional metal in period 6, group 10 of the periodic table.
Au or Pt are highly stable and they are noble metals as they do not react with oxygen readily
The most reactive elements in periodic table are K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, C, Zn, Fe, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Ag, Au and Pt. These are given in descending order of reactivity.
Au and Pt are some metals which do not react with O.
For example metals as Pt, Au, Os and other.
Generally precious metals as Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, Ir.
They are located in Group 2. the second column from the left. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra).
