Gold is very low in the reactivity series (i.e. the electrochemical series). This makes it poorly electropositive. This means that it does not prefer to exist as positive ions but prefers its (natural) atomic state.

This explains why one can find native Gold, something which can never occur for highly electropositive metals like Potassium.

Gold is therefore unreactive.

No, most natural gold to be found (197 Au) is stable but there are many radioactive isotopes of gold that are known and could be made.

It's not that reactive but it can combine with other elements e.g. Gold ore is gold reacted with something

Gold is a mostly unreactive metal. It does not react with water, hydrochloric acid, or sulphuric acid. The only metal less reactive than Gold is Platinum.
