Question

Name a metal which does not get corroded.

Answer 1

Corrosion is the process of transformation of metals into undesirable substances by loss of their shine, discoloration, etc. It happens in the presence of air water and moisture. The pure metals get converted to more solid forms such as oxides, sulfides, hydroxides, etc.

• Gold is a metal that is less reactive than other metals. Due to its less reactivity compared with other metals, it does not corrode easily.
• Therefore, it is unaffected by the air or moisture.
• Therefore, Gold does not get corroded.
