Why is gold considered to be a noble metal though it has only one electron in the valence shell?

In chemistry terms, 'noble' is often applied to describe the inert gases of the 8th group in the Periodic Table. When applied to gold, it is used in the normal sense; noble meaning 'of a higher station or rank of importance', because of its low reactivity.

In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
What element has one valence electron but is not a metal?
There is no non-metal with one valence electron. Every element with 1 valence electron belongs to the alkali metals family
Why does graphite conduct electric current though it is a non-metals?
it doesnot depend on meta l or non metal it depends on valence electron ........
What element is a metal with 2 valence electron?
All alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
How many electrons are in the valence shell of francium?
Francium has one valence electron, its atomic no is 87 and it belong to Ist group of periodic table.
How many valence electrons does the element cesium have?
A cesium atom has 1 valence electron. It is an alkali metal, and all alkali metals have 1 valence electron. The electron configuration for cesium is (Rn)7s1. The single electron in the 7s sublevel is its valence electron.

What happens to the valence electron in an alkali metal when it combines with a halogen gas?
This electron is lost.
How many valence electrons are present in rubidium?
Rubidium has one valence electron as it an alkali metal.
How many valence electrons does a group 1A metal atom have?
they all have one valence electron.
Is silver a alkali metal?
gold is an alkali metal since it has one valence electron

What element is a metal with 2 valence electron?
All alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
What highly active metal is a liquid it has 1 valence electron?
The lowest melting metal in group 1 (with 1 valence electron) is Francium (300 K, though not accurate). However it is not a liquid at room (or standard-) temperature. It is very reactive, but there are no stable isotopes (longest halftime 4 minutes for the most common found)
