Gold - the most obedient and pliable metal; one gramme can be broken in sheet of one square metre, or ounce in 300 square foots. The gold sheet can be broken is thin enough, that it became transparent. Transferred light appears greenish, dark blue colour because gold insistently reflects yellow and red.



Gold with readiness forms alloys with many other things metals. These alloys can be made to increase hardness or to create exotic colours. Gold - a good conductor of a heat and an electricity, also is not mentioned air by and the majority of reactants. The heat, humidity, oxygen, and the majority corrosive have agents a little chemical effect on gold, doing it is approaching for use in coins and jewelry; on the contrary, halogens will chemically change gold, and imperial vodka terminates it through ion formation.

The general variants of oxidation of gold include +1 (gold (I) or structures containing gold) and +3 (gold (III) or gold-bearing structures). Gold ions in the decision with readiness are reduced and accelerated as gold metal, adding any other metal as the reducing agent. The added metal is oxidised and terminates the gold permission to be moved of the decision and to be restored as a hasty body.

The recent research undertaken by sir Frank Reith, the professor of the Australian National University, shows, that microbes play the important role in formation of gold deposits, transportation and gold acceleration to generate grains and nuggets which gather in alluvial deposits.
High-quality pure metal gold is insipid; according to its resistance of corrosion (these are metal ions which award taste to metals).



Besides, gold very dense, cubic metre weighs 19300 kg. In comparison the density of the second most dense element, iridium, makes 22650 kg/m 3.
