Yes, but only when heated to a certain temperature, and so long as that temperature is maintained.

Gold has a relatively low melting point compared to some other commonly used metals, such as iron. That melting point being 1063.0°C, or 1945.4 °F. If the gold drops below this temperature, it will return to a solid state.

Gold is an extremely soft, malleable, ductile and dense metal. It's almost never used in its purest liquid form for this reason. To use it as a solid, pure gold is usually added to other metals like copper in amounts of purity that we measure in Carat. A higher Carat rating indicates that the amount of pure gold added to the material is greater, thus making it more expensive.

Of course, this is how they purify it once it has left the mines.

What takes up more space 5g of solid gold or 5g of liquid gold?

5 grams of liquid gold Other than water, the solid state of a substance sinks into its liquid state, because the liquid state is less dense than the solid state. The solid 5 gram sample of gold would have a lower volume, giving it a higher density. The liquid sample of 5 grams of gold would have a greater volume and a lower density.
