Copper, silver, and gold, are in the
same column of THE Periodic Table.

They are not compounds. Iron cobalt
is.

Nickle is just plain weird (i before
e except after w?).

ITYM "nickel". As for "iron cobalt", I'm not sure precisely
what that is but suspect it's more of a metallic alloy than
a true covalent compound. However, I'm not all that skilled
in chemistry.

Iron: group 8; others in group: rubidium, osmium, hassium.
Cobalt: group 9; others in group: rhodium, iridium, meitnerium.
