Strangely enough, to all intents and purposes, gold if pure. As gold is an element, it is not made up of anything but itself - hence elemental. It is essentially made up of 76 protons and 118 neutrons. If it is not pure, then it is alloyed with other metals, e.g. copper, silver, platinum, palladium, zinc, nickel, manganese, aluminium, iron, cadmium, ruthenium, rhodium...
