Question

Nobel Metals ?

Answer 1

"Noble" is used to refer to the far right hand column of the period table. These elements (all gases at room temperature, and all non-metals by definition) are called noble because they are non-reactive (as in the noble aristocracy doesn't interact with the proletariat - of course not considered noble behavior in the modern era)

Answer 2

yeah that s what i thought but i read somewhere what some of the heavy transition metals are noble too, like mercury,

Answer 3

while non-reactive under most conditions, these transition metals with stable d orbital electron configurations are not noble in the same sense as these gases which have completely filled valence shells
