Gold doesn't oxidize (rust) easily
Gold is frequently used in various alloys (different karats). Typically silver, copper, and various rare metals are used in the gold alloys.
However, one can purchase silicon bronze. And, yes, there are equivalent silicon-gold alloys.
Also note, while pure gold doesn't tarnish or oxidize to any appreciable extent, gold alloys can... for example gold/copper alloys can tarnish.
What else can I help you with?
Is gold a silicate?
No gold is not a silicate, because it does no contain oxygen and silicon.
A mineral that lacks silicon or oxygen is called?
A mineral that lacks silicon or oxygen is called native elements. These minerals consist of a single element or a combination of elements without silicon or oxygen in their chemical composition. Examples include gold, silver, copper, and sulfur.
Mineral that contains silicon and oxygen and usually one or more other elements?
gold
How many oxygen ions and silicon ions are in a silicon oxygen tetrahedron?
There are 4 oxygen ions and 1 silicon ion in a silicon- oxygen tetrahedron.
Which two elements do oxygen and silicon contain?
Oxygen and Silicon are elements in their own right. They do NOT contain aanything else. However, Silicon and Oxygen can combine to form the molecule 'Silicon Dioxide' ( SiO2 ), of which is sand on the beach is an impure form, mixed with oxides of other elements.
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?
How many silicon atoms are in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?i am thinking about 4..
How many elements are in SiO?
SiO2 is a macromolecule. Each silicon atom is covalently bonded to four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom is covalently bonded to two silicon atoms.
How many silicon and oxygen atoms in silicon-oxygen?
"silicon-oxygen" is essentially meaningless. Silica contains silicon and oxygen in the proportion 1:2, so is sometimes called "silicon dioxide", but it doesn't exist in the form of individual SiO2 molecules; they're bonded to each other in a large network.
Is a silicon - oxygen bond polar?
A silicon-oxygen bond is considered polar due to the difference in electronegativity between silicon and oxygen. Oxygen is more electronegative than silicon, causing a partial negative charge on oxygen and a partial positive charge on silicon.
What are the two most common elements in the earths crust?
One is silicon, but I don't know the other:(oxygen
What element is compound with silicon?
One example is oxygen. Oxygen combines with silicon to form silicon dioxide, SiO2.
What are the symbols of silicon and oxygen?
The symbol for silicon is Si, and the symbol for oxygen is O.
