Gold does not easily react with other substances. It is an unreactive metal and once polishes, it retains their shine for a long time, therefore, it is used for making jewellery.
Corrosion is used to describe the process by which minerals such as metals are slowly eaten away when exposed to air and moisture.
No gas is releases when sulphur is added to dilute HCl because non-metals do not react with dilute HCl and sulphur is a non-metal.
Since copper is a good conductor of electricity, it is used in electrical cables.
Copper vessel gets corroded in the presence of moist air that is carbon dioxide and water to form green coating of a substance called basic copper carbonate.
Silicon is considered to be the backbone of electronics industry.
Sodium metal which react vigorously with the oxygen present in air at room temperature to form sodium oxide. Hence, sodium is stored under kerosene to prevent its reaction with oxygen and moisture present in air.
Metal oxides formed are basic in nature, when dissolved in water they form bases which turn red litmus into blue whereas non-metal oxides are acidic in nature, when dissolve in water they form acids which turn blue litmus into red.
Silver does not get easily corroded in unpolluted air, however, if the air is polluted with sulphur compounds such as hydrogen sulphide then silver reacts with it to form a black coating of silver sulphide.
Silver and gold are present at the bottom of the reactivity series of metals. They are unreactive metals and do not react with water, acids and alkalis. They therefore, occur n free state in nature. So they are noble metals.
Copper is the metal other them iron which gets rusted in moist air.In the presence of carbon dioxide and water, copper gets corroded or rusted to form a green coating. This green coating is a mixture of copper hydroxide and copper carbonate.
