An atom.
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.
One reason is that gold is considerably denser than iron and therefore sinks more consistently to the bottom of a shaken pan. Another reason is that iron rarely occurs in nature in elemental form, while gold relatively often does occur naturally in elemental form.
Gold is one of the few metals that occurs in its pure state in nature. Gold pieces found are called nuggets.
Gold, silver, and copper are considered native elements because they occur in nature in their pure form. They are not chemically combined with any other elements and can be found in Earth's crust as metallic mineral deposits. This is in contrast to other elements, which are often found in nature in the form of compounds or minerals.
Copper, silver, and gold.
An atom.
The noble gases, gold and platinum.
Gold is a beautiful metal, practically unreactive, exist in nature as a pure element, is expensive and very desirable.
Gold exist also in nature in several minerals and rarely as an alloy.
Gold is in the copper-silver-gold group of metals.
Gold generally exist in nature as a pure metal; several gold minerals (without industrial importance) are săcărîmbit, sylvanite, krennerite, calaverite, petzite.

1. Gold an platinum are very unreactive metals. 2. Minerals (compounds) containing gold are known.
The noble gases generally exist in nature in monoatomic form. Some metals are unreactive enough to exist in nature as pure "nuggets" of metal; gold is probably the most notable, but there are places where one can find nuggets of (nearly) pure copper as well.

because gold have a native energy but iron does not have that native energy
