Summary

Description
English: Periodic table extract showing approximately how often each element tends to be recognized as a noble metal:
Color guide
7 most often (Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt, Au) [1]
1 often (Ag) [2]
2 sometimes (Cu, Hg) [3]
6 in a limited sense (Tc, Re, As, Sb, Bi, Po)

The thick black line encloses the seven to eight metals most often to often so recognized. Silver is sometimes not recognized as a noble metal on account of its greater reactivity . [4]
