Yes; the final compound is the oxide Au2O3; this compound has some useful applications.
Any metal that reacts with oxygen will produce a metal oxide. For example, magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide, and zinc reacts with oxygen to produce zinc oxide. It is helpful to know the general word equation: metal + oxygen -> metal oxide
When sodium reacts with oxygen, it forms sodium oxide (Na2O).
2Au + 4KCN + O2 → 2KAu(CN)2
When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO).
Iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen, commonly known as rust.
Which magnesium experiment !
Gold reacts with few elements including chlorine, oxygen and fluorine under critical conditions.
No.

Gold does not react with air or water, so it does not tarnish or corrode easily. Copper reacts slowly with air and water to form a patina. Silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air to form tarnish. Iron reacts quickly with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust).
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
When sodium reacts with oxygen, it forms sodium oxide (Na2O).
2Au + 4KCN + O2 → 2KAu(CN)2
When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO).
Iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen, commonly known as rust.
If something reacts with oxygen that is a description of a chemical property.
Gold does not react with oxygen because of its atomic structure which makes it very stable. As it is entirely stable, there is no need for it to react with oxygen to gain stability. Conduction of heat has nothing at all to do with it. Iron is an excellent conductor of heat but reacts readily with oxygen.
