Gold is hard because its molecules are very tightly packed and it atoms are extremly dense
2nd Answer:
Yes, that's right, but if you measure gold's hardness against other minerals and other metals, it is pretty soft, rating about 2.5 to 3 (out of 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) on the Moh's hard scale.
Gold can be hammered so thin that a little light can pass through it.
the difference is that gold is yellow and it is hard and a diamond is hard too, but it is not as hard as gold and diamond can be any color
Gold is soft and hard, gold is hard when it has metal plating and soft when there isn't metal plating.
gold can be both soft and hard depending on how pure it is, pure gold (24K) is softer than a gold alloy. And the lower the number the harder it is. 10K is harder than 14K, 14K is harder than 18K, and 18K is harder than 24K (pure gold).
To identify gold take a hammer or something hard and hit the gold. If it shatters it is fake if it turns flat it is gold.
Gold is not solluable, it is a noble metal, that means hard - very hard - to oxidize (and then dissolve). To dissolve gold, very special chemicals are needed, especially a combination of an oxidizer and 'solvent'
yes it is, gold is very hard to find.
the difference is that gold is yellow and it is hard and a diamond is hard too, but it is not as hard as gold and diamond can be any color
bold gold unfold gold
It can be soft or hard.
Mining for gold was very hard work. This was because gold usually came in very small pieces and was hard to extract from the rock it was imbedded in .
Yes, pretty hard
No, it is not.
Because so many miners were looking for gold that all the gold was running out making it hard to find any.
Gold is soft and hard, gold is hard when it has metal plating and soft when there isn't metal plating.
hard
No they are hard, but gold is a relatively soft metal.
Not necissarily, those who were digging for gold in the California Gold rush worked hard and long and learned based on their hard work where the gold was (or stole from those who did). Of course, sometimes people did just get lucky, but with that luck their was hard work and a lot of time invested.
