What are the Chemical Properties of Gold Chemical Formula Au Activity Gold is chemically inactive its extremely resistant to chemical action Compounds Ready reducibility from compounds to metal Auric chloride and chloroauric acid are its most common compounds Reactivity with acids
Gold has been called the most beautiful of all chemical elements its beauty has made it desirable for use in jewelry coins and artwork for thousands of years it was one of the first pure metals to be used by humans gold is one of the few elements that can affect politics and economics wars have been fought over access to gold

What are the physical and chemical reactions of gold question date 20150505 answer 1 gold is a noble metal which means that is not very reactive some special chemistries however do react with gold for example there is an acid solution called quotaqua regiaquot the name means quotkings waterquot in latin because it can dissolve the gold which
