〽↖⤵⤵Now basically if we Consider the Reactivity series ..

〽↖⤵⤵then often and usually we find the Gold(Au) and Silver (Ag) .....Are the base or at the top most bottom ....with the Platinum (Pt) ......

〽↖⤵⤵So this Tells us that .....This elements in the Reactivity series Come under the Element HYDROGEN ....

〽↖⤵⤵thus this implies that .....They are so much unreactive. .

〽↖⤵⤵That Do not degrade with the Environment or the water .....Thus they do not take much part in Reactions or Corrosion. ...In special conditions only ....

〽↖⤵⤵ THEY ARE THE NOBLE ELEMENTS ........
