Want this question answered?
yes, some transition metals like gold(Au) are almost unreactive.
Examples for the groups I an II of the periodic table:- the atomic radius grows from top to bottom- the electronegativity descends from top to bottom
As I understand it scientists took an educated guess at the Hydrogen Atom and all the rest were extrapolated from there.
Having a low chemical reactivity gold is useful to made very resistant objects and platings.
Reactivity increases the farther down you go in the Periodic Table.
Because Gold (Au) is very unreactive, it is placed at the very bottom of the reactivity series with the exception of platinum.
golds reactivity is very low in the reactivity series ....
Decrease reactivity
Yes, gold and silver are at the bottom of the reactivity chart and therefore less likely to rust when in contact with water. Iron on the other hand, is at the top of the reactivity chart and will react to water in a way so that it would rust. This is why we do not use iron, which is cheap and durable, to make coins almost anytime in history.

The cheap metal r ing from a vendor is more than gold in reactivity
Reactivity of metals decreases from left to right in the specific period of theperiodic table.
