Au is the chemical symbol for gold. It has an atomic number of 79 meaning it has 79 protons and 79 electrons. I assume that is what you mean
Au - the 79th element (has 79 protons)
Au - the 79th element (has 79 protons)
This chemical element is gold (Au).
The number of protons of an atom is equal to its atomic number, and element number 79 is gold (Au).
In a regular sample of the element of gold, meaning no change done to it, then there will be 79 protons and 118 neutrons
Platinum(Pt) has 78 protons. Gold(Au) has 79 protons
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons in its nucleus. Checking the periodic table, we see that gold's atomic number is 79. Thus, gold is the element with 79 protons.
Gold (the natural isotope 197Au) contain 79 protons, 118 neutrons and 79 electrons.
The atomic number of gold (Au) is 79, therefore each gold atom contains 79 protons in its nucleus. The atomic number is the number of protons for each element.
Gold is NOT a proton. It is an element found in the Periodic Table, with the symnol 'Au' (Aurum ; Latin for Gold). However an atom of Gold contains 79 protons, 79 electrons 118 neutrons. It has an atomic mass of 197. (79 + 118 = 197)
If you remove 2 protons and 2 neutrons from gold (Au), the resulting element would be platinum (Pt). Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons, while platinum has 77 protons and 116 neutrons.
The element with the symbol Au is gold.
