Silver and gold does not show any reactivity with acids except aqua regia....
Because those metals specified are unreactive ie. below hydrogen in reactivity series so cannot displace hydrogen as they are less reactive. Acids contain hydrogen which is the cation of the compound so to react the metals should be able to displace hydrogen but they are not able to do so due to their unreactive property. Make reference to reactivity series for better ....
