Question

why do gold and silver not corrode in moist air​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gold and silver are the least reactive metals in the reactivity series, hence can not bond with oxygen easily. Therefore they both can not get corroded easily.

Answer 2

$\large\boxed{\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow} {Answer}}$

Gold ornaments do not get corroded.

$\bold{\boxed{Reasons}}$

1. Gold is a nobel metal. There is no effect of moist air or action of acid on it at any temperature.

2. Pure gold is a very soft metal, it breaks and gets bent easily. Hence, in gold ornaments, gold is alloyed with other metals like copper or silver in appropriate proportion to make it hard and resistant to corrosion.

Hence, gold ornaments do not get corroded.
