$2$. Low Reactivity: They are noble metals and are very less reactive. They do not react with air,water,or acids under normal conditions,which prevents them from corroding or tarnishing easily.
$3$. Malleability and Ductility: These metals are highly malleable and ductile,allowing them to be easily shaped into intricate designs.
