What are two physical properties of silver?

Answer 1

Two of the physical properties that gold has are its melting point, which is 1337.33 Kelvin and the density at room temperature, which is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. The density of gold at the melting point is 17.31 grams per cubic centimeter.

Answer 2

Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all metals; a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become translucent. The transmitted light appears greenish blue, because gold strongly reflects yellow and red.[2] Such semi-transparent sheets also strongly reflect infrared light, making them useful as infrared (radiant heat) shields in visors of heat-resistant suits, and in sun-visors for spacesuits.

Gold readily creates alloys with many other metals. These alloys can be produced to modify the hardness and other metallurgical properties, to control melting point or to create exotic colors (see below). Gold is a good conductor of heat and electricity and reflects infrared radiation strongly. Chemically, it is unaffected by air, moisture and most corrosive reagents, and is therefore well suited for use in coins and jewelry and as a protective coating on other, more reactive, metals. However, it is not chemically inert.

Common oxidation states of gold include +1 (gold(I) or aurous compounds) and +3 (gold(III) or auric compounds). Gold ions in solution are readily reduced and precipitated out as gold metal by adding any other metal as the reducing agent. The added metal is oxidized and dissolves allowing the gold to be displaced from solution and be recovered as a solid precipitate.

High quality pure metallic gold is tasteless and scentless; in keeping with its resistance to corrosion (it is metal ions which confer taste to metals).

In addition, gold is very dense, a cubic meter weighing 19,300 kg. By comparison, the density of lead is 11,340 kg/m3, and that of the densest element, osmium, is 22,610 kg/m3

Answer 3

It is soft, metal, greenish- blue color, can be hammered to shape, and is a precious metal.

Answer 4

solid and good conductor of electricity and heat

Answer 5

Gold is a soft, malleable metal. It is 'Golden' in colour and is reflective/metallic in lustre. It conducts electricity and heat very well, like all metals. It is VERY unreactive.

Answer 6

Action with dilute acids, On reaction with dilute acids they give respective salt and hydrogen.

Answer 7

You can describe solids in general by properties such as their density, mass, shape, hardness, and others.

Answer 8

Gray and shiny

Answer 9

some people think gold is edible
