Why metals such as gold and silver did not react with oxygen?
colour
Does gold not react with oxygen in the air because it conducts heat?
Gold does not react with oxygen because of its atomic structure which makes it very stable. As it is entirely stable, there is no need for it to react with oxygen to gain stability. Conduction of heat has nothing at all to do with it. Iron is an excellent conductor of heat but reacts readily with oxygen.
Which property shows that gold does not react with oxygen in the air?
Gold does not corrode/tarnish.
Does gold react with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base?
Gold does not react directly with oxygen, however if you succeed in getting gold oxide indirectly, it decomposes at 205C. The oxide is neither acid nor base however gold ions are acidic (like protons are acidic)
What properties is possessed by gold but not possessed by silver?
the ability to not react with oxygen in the air.
Is gold reactive to oxygen?
Yes, gold can react with oxygen to form gold oxide.
Why metals such as gold and silver did not react with oxygen?

Does gold react with oxygen?
Does gold rust. Gold can not rust. Rust is oxidation, and gold is inert to oxygen and even most acids. Why doesn't goldrust. Because it's a special metal iron.

the ability to not react with oxygen in the air.
Why gold is said to be a noble metal?
Gold is said to be noble metal because it is unreactive and does not react with either oxygen or water.
What does gold element react with?
Gold reacts with few elements including chlorine, oxygen and fluorine under critical conditions.
Why is gold found native?
Because it does not react (noble). Most other metals will be found in compounds based on their oxides, however if gold would react with oxygen, which it does not directly, then under heat or light it will decompose back to gold
Jewelry is often made from metals such as silver or gold. Which of the following properties is possessed by gold but not possessed by silver?
the ability to not react with oxygen in the air
Why does gold keep its luster?
Gold doesn't react to oxygen so it doesn't rust, and it is generally a very stable element, meaning it won't react with other elements naturally and lose its shine.
