Au, from Aurum, Latin for gold.
Gold = Au
Au - the 79th element (has 79 protons)
The Element Gold (symbol Au) melts at 1064.43ºC.Thus, it would be a solid at 800ºC.
Gold, Au 19.30 (grams per ml or cc) is 19.3 times HEAVIER than water) Densities of Common Elements and Compounds: Substance / Density grams per ml(milliliter) or cc(cubic centimeter) Water 1.00 gram per ml(the standard) Aluminum, Al 2.70 Iron, Fe 7.80 Gold, Au 19.30 (grams per ml or cc) Mercury, Hg 13.5 Lead, Pb 11.34
Hi I believe the answer to be because of its high density. Gold or Aurum (Au) is very dense and hence will 'reflect'and 'deflect' alpha particles, which are helium nuclei. Beta particles are electrons Hope that helps
