gold is a pure substance = no compounds - Au
Gold is an element, not a compond. It is not made of anything, although many compounds are made from gold.
Although gold is unreactive, it forms many compounds with a range of oxidation states.
Yes, many compounds of gold are known.
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.
There is gold oxide, Au2O3 But gold usually does not form compounds
Compounds of Gold are often called Auric compounds and for a list see the related link.
There are no "common" compounds that contain significant quantities of gold. Gold is found in trace amounts in many things (seawater, for example). Gold is actually more commonly found uncombined, since it's fairly unreactive.
All but gold are compounds, gold being an element.
The interesting fact is that gold is rather unreactive and forms very few compounds.
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
