Metals such as gold, silver, and platinum which are extremely inactive and are unaffected by air( ), heat, moisture, and most solvents.
A metal which is not very reactive, as silver, gold, and copper and may be found naturally in metallic form on Earth.
A noble metal is a metal that does not readily tend to furnish ions, and therefore does not dissolve or corrode readily.
One that does not oxidize or react readily with other chemicals, i.e. gold, silver and platinum.
A group of metals including gold, iridium, palladium, platinum and ruthenium that exhibit marked resistance to the formation of surface oxide films.
any metal that is resistant to corrosion or oxidation
Chemically inactive metal (such as gold). A metal that does not corrode easily and is much scarcer (and more valuable) than the so-called useful or base metals. Also see base metal.
A metal not easily oxidized. Example: gold, platinum. Opposite of base metal.
A metal that does not readily tend to furnish ions, and therefore does not dissolve readily, nor easily enter into such reactions as oxidations, etc. The opposite of base metal. Examples of noble metals are silver, gold, platinum etc.Note : In order to avoid any confusion concerning the sign of electrode potentials, the words noble and base are often preferred because they are unambiguous.
(1) A metal whose potential is highly positive relative to the hydrogen electrode. (2) A metal with marked resistance to chemical reaction. particularly to oxidation and to solution by inorganic acids. The term as often used is synonymous with precious metal.
A metal with high resistance to chemical reaction, especially oxidation and solution by organic acids; sometimes called a precious metal.
Noble metals are metals that are resistant to corrosion or oxidation, unlike most base metals. They tend to be precious metals, often due to perceived rarity. Examples include gold, silver, tantalum, platinum, and rhodium.
