What metal is found as itself in the earths crust?
Iron , Aluminium and Copper Can Be Found , Also Gold Can Be Found Uncombined in the Earths Crust .
Why can gold be dug out of underground but not aluminium?
Gold is an unreactive metal and can be found in the pure metallic form.Aluminum is a very reactive metal and can only be found combined with other elements as aluminum ores. These ores are readily mined both underground and in open pits.
What metal is used in the reaction of metal and air?
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
What property term describes gold as conducting electricity?
The correct term is the conductivity of the metal. The conductivity of different metals can be found tables on the internet. Examples are: Silver (best) 6.30 x 10 to the power 7 S/m Copper 5.96 Gold 4.10 Aluminium 3.50 Tungsten 1.79 Copper is the most widely used metal for electric currents. Silver is 6% better while aluminium is 31% worse. However aluminium is used for overhead power lines because it is lighter and therefore the pylons can be made using a less massive design.
Why does Aluminium occur in a form of a compound whereas gold is found in free state?
This is because metals like gold lie at the bottom in the activity series so they are less reactive and are found in the free state, whereas, metals like aluminium, zinc, etc. are found on the top of the activity series so they are highly reactive and are found in the form of compounds.
What is an fact about metal?
Pure metal is weaker than alloyed metal. ! and zinc oxide + Gold = zinc oxide + gold. !

What is the ionic compound name for Au2O?
Au2O does not exist. However, a compound name would be 'Gold(1) Oxide'. The main oxide of gold is 'Au2O3' Gold (III) Oxide. However, gold is a very inert metal, to the point of being found native as nuggets.

Is gold oxide an acid or a base?
Gold oxide is neither an acid nor a base. It is a metal oxide, which means it is a compound that contains a metal (gold) and oxygen. Metal oxides tend to be basic in nature, meaning they can react with acids to form salts and water.

Which doesn't belong with aluminium zinc bronze and gold?
Zinc doesn't belong with aluminium, bronze, and gold because it is not a precious metal like the others.
What metal are apple macs made from?
stainless steel, copper, aluminium, gold etc....
What compounds are gold in?
Gold is typically found as the native metal in nature, meaning it is not usually found in compounds. However, gold can form compounds with other elements such as oxygen, sulfur, and tellurium. Examples include gold oxide (Au2O3), gold sulfide (Au2S), and gold telluride (AuTe2).
Why are metals like aluminum never found in the Earth as pure metals?
Aluminium is a reactive metal and in nature only the most unreactive metals (such as gold) are found in thir pure form.
Why was gold discovered and used before aluminium?
Gold is found in the elemental state as it is quite nonreactive -- hence it can be "panned" as in the old westerns. Gold was known from the earliest times. Aluminium is always present combined in an ore and is quite difficult to extract and refine.
How do you reduce gold oxide to gold using sodium hydroxide and heat?
To reduce gold oxide to gold using sodium hydroxide and heat, you would mix the gold oxide with sodium hydroxide in a crucible and heat the mixture strongly until the reduction reaction occurs. Sodium hydroxide acts as a reducing agent, converting gold oxide (Au2O3) into gold metal (Au) and sodium oxide. The resulting mixture can then be washed to separate the gold metal.
