Gold is an element and is formed in the core of large stars, especially during a nova.

On Earth, veins of gold are formed by separation from liquid rock after gravity agglomerates the molecules. It will form long chains within spaces in minerals because of its resistance to combining with lighter elements.

How was gold formed?

Gold is primarily formed in supernova explosions or from the collision of neutron stars. In these extreme events, heavy elements like gold are created through nuclear fusion processes. Over millions of years, this newly-formed gold is ejected into space where it eventually becomes part of planets, including Earth.


How could gold be formed from other elements?

Gold can be formed through supernova nucleosynthesis, where the explosion of massive stars creates extreme conditions that allow for the fusion of lighter elements into heavier ones, such as gold. Another way gold can be formed is through neutron capture processes in environments like neutron star mergers, where neutrons bombard existing atomic nuclei, leading to the creation of heavy elements like gold.


When nitric acid is added to detect the presence of copper present in ornamental gold. what is the compound of copper formed. why does not gold change?

when niric acid is added to copper the compound formed will be copper nitrite,gold does not change because nitric acid will not react with gold,but it react with any other materials.thish is the reason why gold does not change sathish s sathya


Does gold react with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base?

Gold does not react directly with oxygen, however if you succeed in getting gold oxide indirectly, it decomposes at 205C. The oxide is neither acid nor base however gold ions are acidic (like protons are acidic)


What is the formula for the compound gold and hydroxide?

The formula for the compound formed between gold and hydroxide ions is Au(OH)3. This compound is known as gold(III) hydroxide.

Where does gold come from and how is it formed?

Gold is formed deep within the Earth's crust through a process called hydrothermal circulation. It is then brought to the surface through volcanic activity or erosion. Gold can also be found in meteorites that have fallen to Earth.

What is the origin of gold?

Gold has always been present as a mineral in the rocks of earth. Gold was formed in small amounts by nuclear fusion in stars and was "distributed" across space by a super nova however due to its neutron rich construction, most gold was probably originally formed in neutron star explosions or collisions, itself relatively rare. This may explain gold's relative rarity. When earth formed, gold was included in the substance that accreted to make up this planet we're on.
