  2. Noble metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_metal

    The expression noble metal is sometimes confined to copper, silver, and gold since their full d-subshells can contribute to their noble character. [14] There are also known to be significant contributions from how readily there is overlap of the d-electron states with the orbitals of other elements, particularly for gold. [ 15 ]

    The platinum-group metals (PGMs), also known as the platinoids, platinides, platidises, platinum group, platinum metals, platinum family or platinum-group elements (PGEs), are six noble, precious metallic elements clustered together in the periodic table. These elements are all transition metals in the d-block (groups 8, 9, and 10, periods 5 ...

  4. Galvanic series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_series

    The galvanic series (or electropotential series) determines the nobility of metals and semi-metals. When two metals are submerged in an electrolyte, while also electrically connected by some external conductor, the less noble (base) will experience galvanic corrosion. The rate of corrosion is determined by the electrolyte, the difference in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupellation

    16th century cupellation furnaces (per Agricola). Cupellation is a refining process in metallurgy in which ores or alloyed metals are treated under very high temperatures and subjected to controlled operations to separate noble metals, like gold and silver, from base metals, like lead, copper, zinc, arsenic, antimony, or bismuth, present in the ore.
