Although gold is unreactive, it forms many compounds with a range of oxidation states.
There is gold oxide, Au2O3 But gold usually does not form compounds
Gold is very inert and does not readily react with anything or form compounds (which is why it is found as a native metal in rocks). However, it can be made to form compounds and the related link below tells you what these are.
Most known gold compounds are Gold oxide, chloride, thiosulphate double: Gold potassium cyanide, gold ammonium sulphite Most are obtained indirectly and decompose easily to... gold
It is two or more atoms:)
0 in the elemental form. +1 or +3 in its compounds

Gold does not form compounds very readily. Most known gold compounds are Gold oxide, chloride, thiosulphate double: Gold potassium cyanide, gold ammonium sulphite. The compounds decompose very readily at low temperatures.

Ionic compounds
Gold form compounds with sulfur, selenium, tellurium, fluorine, chlorine etc.
Gold is an element. It can be mixed with other elements to form compounds, but gold itself is a pure substance, not a mixture or a compound of elements.

gold is a pure substance = no compounds - Au
