By considering electron configurations, explain why gold and silver are less reactive than copper. 

Silver(III), with a ds electronic configuration, forms only a limited number of stable compounds because of the inaccessibility of a suitable ligand framework to coordinatively bind the unusual, higher valent central metal while, at the same time, resisting intramolecular electron transfer. They are thermodynamically and kinetically unstable. 

Table Al.l Electronic configuration of the elements. Elements in square brackets (e.g., [He]) imply that the electronic configurations of the inner orbitals are identical to those of the element in brackets. Thus silver (Ag, atomic number 47) has a configuration of [Kr]4(7105 1, which if written out in full would be s22s22p62s22p62d1QAs1Ap6Adw5>s1, giving 47 electrons in all. For the heavier elements (atomic number above 55), the alternative notation K, L, M is used to denote the inner shells corresponding to orbitals 1, 2 and 3 respectively. This notation is common in X-ray spectroscopy (see p. 33). (Adapted from Lide, 1990.)...

As expected there is a close resemblance in the chemical behaviour of technetium and rhenium whereas the properties of both elements differ considerably from those of manganese. The electronic configuration of technetium in the ground state is 4d 5s. Technetium is a silver-grey metal which tarnishes slowly in moist air. 

A 3H and 2H NMR study of single crystals of [Ag(NH3)2][Ag(ONO)2] has been reported.32 Rapid reorientational motions of the ammine groups around their C3 axes were found. The orientations of the C3 axes within the crystal corresponded with the Ag—N bond directions of the [H3N—Ag—NH3]+ unit. The deuterium quadrupole coupling constant was determined and found to be identical to that of solid ND3. It was concluded that the electronic configuration and the geometric structure of ammonia were changed only very slightly upon coordination to silver ions. 

All silver crystals have the same geometric shape. Therefore, the crystalline shape of a metallic solid is a function of the size of the metal solid atoms and their electron configuration. Each metal has its own geometric crystalline shape. Aluminum atoms pack into a face-centered cubic cell. Iron s solid structure is body-centered cubic.
