Gold is a relatively soft metal and wears away easily. Adding other metals to gold can give it more strength and durability.
Gold is very soft metal and by adding other metals it can be used to make jewelry and other things.
to cause stronger metals
Really none. That is why gold is so valuable. While other metals have similar properties to gold, none of them have the exact same. The closest metals to gold in terms of its properties are silver, platinum and palladium.
Element. They Add Some Metals to Make Jewelry.
Nothing. Gold is inert with bleach. Bleach can effect the other metals in the alloy as most gold items are not pure gold. If the piece contains silver or copper, the bleach can affect those metals.Most items we call gold are not pure gold but are mostly gold alloyed with other metals. 14k gold for example is 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts other metals ( such as silver and copper) However the gold itself is not harmed in anyway
err what do i do here
Stamped 55 on gold ring
pure gold is 24 Karat gold and is 99.99% pure a ring made of 18 karat gold is 75 % gold and 25 % other metals a 14 Kt gold is 58.3% pure and the balance other metals such as silver copper
In gold, carats do not refer to a weight or amount of gold, but to what percentage of pure gold is used in a metal alloy. Gold is really soft, so to make durable jewelry from it we add other metals like silver and copper. 24 carat gold is pure, undiluted gold. 12 carat gold is 1/2 gold, 1/2 other metals.

Silver, Copper, ?? 18 karat gold is 75 % gold and 25 % other metals 14 Kt gold is 58.3% pure and the balance other metals such as silver copper
Because gold is an element.
Gold is hardened by other metals to make it useable
Gold is a natural source of gold. Gold is a metal. Gold is an element; there are no other metals that are part of gold itself. Ore that contains gold, however, might also contain varying amounts of other metals.
Gold can be mixed with Mercury - formation of an amalgam; also gold can form alloys with many other metals.
