22-1The elements of Groups IB Copper, silver, and gold have been chosen as currency for so long because they are durable and they do not readily react with many other materials.? They generally do not oxidize in air, unless it is particularly moist in coppers case.? These metals also display high levels of the physical properties of metals; copper, silver, and gold are all particularly malleable, ductile and are also good conductors. These metals use their d orbital in chemical bonding, just like other transition metals and so they exist in several oxidation states, which can be seen in the table listing several of the properties of the coinage metals.? They can also form complex ions and demonstrate Para magnetism.22-1The elements of Groups IB Copper (Cu)?? ?The element copper is used in a variety of ways, including agriculturally, industrially and even in our own bodies.?Small amounts of copper are vital to life.?It is found in the several tissues and helps certain enzymes function.?However, in larger doses, it becomes toxic; thus, copper is a popular component of many pesticides, usually CuSO4?5 H2O.?Copper sulfate is also used in batteries as well as electroplating.?It is also popularly used in wiring and piping, since it is such a good conductor and is highly malleable.Although copper is somewhat resistant to corrosion, in air with high levels of moisture, it does corrode but into a copper carbonate which incidentally protects the metal beneath it. 2 Cu(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g) + O2 → Cu2(OH)2CO3(s)22-1The elements of Groups IB Silver (Ag)Silver is a rare metal and holds great value and is also traded in similar markets.? Silver is also a popular metal to make jewelry with because of both its rarity and malleability.? Silver is also a good conductor and is used in electroplating.? It is also used in the manufacturing of batteries as well as a catalyst.Silver also played a vital role in photography and consequently, medicine.?? ?The development of permanent
