Round Platinum
Is platinum (Pt) more or less reactive than gold (Au)?

I thought platinum must be more reactive since it decays to become gold, but apparently it's the other way round. I asked my Physics teacher and he said he thought I was right, my Chemistry teacher didn't know, and the web says I'm wrong! Which is it and why?? :(

Input from any scientists would be much appreciated!
Gippy, thanks for answering. I'm in High School too. It's weird that your book says platinum is more reactive (like I thought) - everywhere else I've looked it says I'm wrong. I Googled "reactivity series" and looked at the image results, but they all say gold is more reactive, as does the BBC's GCSE Bitesize. I think I'll wait for a few more people :) .
I've just asked a different teacher at school, and for those wondering:

Platinum can be more or less reactive depending upon what you do with it. It's often used as a catalyst (e.g. in catalytic converters in cars), but is usually shown as less reactive than gold in the reactivity series.

I'm only a highschool chem. student, but I've got Pt just above Au on the activity series, so I guess Pt is slightly more reactive...
