Solid gold has a density of 19.3grams per cubic centimetre.

Liquid (melted) gold has a density of 17.31grams per cubic centimetre.

So from this it can be seen that when heated to melting point (1064.18 degrees C), gold will reduce in density.

The reason for this is that the atoms of gold will spread out as it liquifys. So for a given volume of gold, there will; be less atoms of gold in the liquid volume of gold when compared to the same volume of solid gold.

generally it decreasses. but water has an extraordinary condition and till 4 ˚C its density increases (density of ice is 0,9g/cm3 however density of water is 1,0g/cm3 ) but after that temperature it decreases.

It stays exactly the same. The density of a compound never changes.
