Gold

elements · metals · precious

Bright yellow metal. Gold is one of the prettiest metals on Earth, with a beautiful metallic-yellow color that catches the light and makes people go 'wow!'

Super soft and bendy. Gold is so soft and squishy that you can hammer it into thin sheets or stretch it into tiny wires without breaking it.

Barely reacts at all. Gold is one of the most unreactive elements known, which means it doesn't tarnish, rust, or get destroyed by air or water, that's why ancient gold treasures still look amazing!

Element number 79. On the periodic table, gold has the chemical symbol Au and atomic number 79, putting it in a special group called the noble metals.

Heavy and solid. Gold is super dense, meaning it's very heavy for its size, and it stays solid under normal conditions here on Earth.
