In Fe, Co, or Ni, the metallic bonds are very strong. Hence, they don't allow mercury to diffuse into it and as such, no amalgam is possible with these metals. In contrast, Ag, Au, or Na (i.e. soft metals) can readily adsorb mercury. Hence amalgam formation is possible with these metals.

An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal. It may be a liquid, a soft paste or a solid, depending upon the proportion of mercury.
