Not all isotopes of gold are stable. Getting into the details is fairly complicated, but in essence it boils down to this: certain combinations of protons and neutrons are stable, and others aren't. For gold, there are stable combinations. For some other elements, it turns out that there is no number of neutrons that can stabilize that particular number of protons (francium, for example, has no stable isotopes).

Which is more stable non metals or metals?
There is no rule about this. Gold is a very stable metal, and neon is a very stable non-metal.
Which of the following metals is the most stable?
Gold
What metals are very stable and have low reactivity?
Tantalum, platinum and gold are very stable metals and have low reactivity.
Will white gold discolor?
It won't unless it's not real white gold. White gold is platinum, it's very stable.
Does gold have chemical properties?
Gold is more stable. It isn't very reactive and doesn't form many bonds. It has 79 protons and 118 neutrons. The sixth energy level has one valence electron. It can be found in a natural bond known as gold ore. Gold's symbol is Au.
