Gold is a simple form of chemical element gold (Au), which is a soft, golden yellow and corrosion-resistant precious metal. Gold is a rarer, more precious and more valuable metal.
Generally speaking, gold in the world is measured in ounces. In ancient China, gold was measured in ounces, which was a very important metal. It is not only a special currency for reserve and investment, but also an important material for jewelry industry, electronics industry, modern communication and aerospace industry.
Physical properties.
1, color.
When gold melts, the steam emitted is yellow-green; Its gold powder is usually brown when it is melted; If it is cast into thin slices, it can transmit green light.
2. Extensibility.
Extremely powerful. 1 oz gold can be stretched to 50 miles long, and its ductility makes it easy to cast, making it a good choice for making jewelry. Of all metals, gold has the greatest pulling force.
3, ductility.
Second to none. It will cause extremely thin gold sheets to roll up easily. Gold weighing 1 ounce can be hammered into 1 foot thickness and 100 square foot thickness. The ancients hammered it into thin slices and spread it in temples and palaces for decoration. All these can explain the flexibility and ductility of gold.
