Heya friend!!
Rajdeep here...
Do you know about the reactivity series of metals?
K
Na
Ca
Mg
Al
Zn
Fe
Ni
Sn
Pb
H
Cu
Hg
Ag
Au
Pt
The metals which occur on top are very reactive and hence, possesses strong affinity towards oxygen and hydrogen of the atmosphere. Hence they do not occur in free state. Only Gold and Platinum are noble metals, which appear free in nature. Even, if you keep silver in air, it reacts with the pollutant hydrogen sulphide, to form black silver sulphide on its surface.
Thanks...
Hope my answer is satisfactory!!
