Answer: Gold and silver are the only metals that don’t react with water at all.
Explanation:
Highly reactive metals generally react with water at room temperature, whereas less reactive metals react with water while boiling or steaming. In the case of Gold and silver, most minor reactive metals are chemically inert-noble gases. They don’t get reactive with water because more energy is needed to break the metallic bonds. In addition, these metals are purest. Thus, they don’t react with water due to their inert nature and least reactiveness. Hence, they are used in the preparation of coins and ornaments.
