Gold, with the chemical symbol Au and atomic number 79, is a dense, soft, yellowish metal renowned for its lustrous appearance and valuable properties. It belongs to the transition metals group in the periodic table and is one of the least reactive chemical elements, making it highly resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. Gold's remarkable ductility and malleability allow it to be hammered into thin sheets (gold leaf) or drawn into fine wires without breaking.
In nature, gold is typically found in its pure elemental form or as nuggets, grains, or flakes in veins within rocks and alluvial deposits. It is often associated with quartz, pyrite, and other minerals. The metal is known for its exceptional conductivity of electricity and heat, properties that find applications in electronics, telecommunications, and various industrial processes.
