Answer

Chemical properties: 1. It is almost totally immune to decay. Physical properties: 1. Density: 19,300 kg per cubic meter. 2. Melting point: 1337.33 K (1064.18 °C). 3. Boiling point: 3129 K (2856 °C). 4. Atomic number: 79.

Work Step by Step

Density : 19,300 kg per cubic metre. Melting point : 1337.33 K (1064.18 °C). Boiling point : 3129 K (2856 °C). Atomic number : 79. Nucleic protons : 79. Atomic weight : 197. Nucleic neutrons (normal) : 118. Since gold is a chemical element, it can only be discovered, not produced. It is generally inert, which implies that it is I virtually completely resistant to decay, (ii) not very useful in any industrial or chemical processes that use it up, and (iii) simple to store inexpensively for extended periods of time. It stands out for its exceptional rarity, density, softness, and excellent electrical conductivity. Due to its physical characteristics, gold has a select few industrial applications. It is employed in the production of several electronics that call for high-quality, non-corrosive connections in dentistry.
