Is Gold and silver formed on other planets?

Gold and silver - and indeed all the elements are not formed on any planet (though they may be found on planets). the elements Hydrogen and Helium were formed at the begining of the universe during the early stages of the big bang. Later all the other elements up to the mass of Iron were formed from hydrogen and helium in the cores of stars. The elements heavier than Iron are all formed in supernova explosions when big stars explode at the end of their lives. These explosions scatter these new heavy elements out into space where the eventually collapse to form new suns and the planets round these suns. Thus all the Gold and Silver found on earth were formed in dead stars and were part of the dusty disk that formed round our sun in its youth. This disk gave rise to all the planets and therefore there will be some Gold and Silver in all the planets. Elements are not formed on planets (Unless human intervention was involved). Heavy metals like Gold and Silver are formed through fusion inside of a star. As a result, gold and silver should be scattered throughout the universe.


Does the moon have gold in it?

The moon does indeed have a little gold on it.Gold was discovered on the moon along with water, silver and mercury.See the link below for an article on it.However, there is no point in mining it. The cost of building and running a mining facility on the moon plus the cost of transporting the gold back to Earth will cost billions. Whereas gold on Earth is worth just hundreds or thousands. The cost just isn't worth it, it would cost you more to mine and transport than you can sell it for.


How can you tell if your 1969 quarter is silver?

It isn't. No 1969 quarters are silver. Silver quarters were only made in 1964 and before. All quarters from 1965-present are copper-nickel. There isn't even a 1969 commemorative quarter that was struck in silver. There is no possible way for it to be silver.


Does 32 carat gold exist?

The purist gold can get is 24 carats. Anything higher than 24 carat gold does not exist as you cannot get something purer than pure, and that includes 32 carat gold.

What is the world's second best conductor?

The phrase "best conductor" is somewhat deceptive because conductance is often associated with resistivity. As an example, some consider Silver to be a better conductor than Gold because it has a slightly lower resitivity, but fail to take temperature into account. When electrical current passes through a conductor, it causes the conductor to heat up. As Silver heats up, it's resistivity remains relatively constant, but as Gold heats up, it's resistivity drops. So at room temperature, Silver appears to be a better conductor than Gold, but in pratice, Gold conducts better than Silver. Currently there is a new material known as Graphene that may turn out to be an even better conductor than either Gold or Silver. So when asked which conductor is best, the answer may soon be Graphene, followed by Gold, followed by Silver. Unless of course you mean "Which conductor has the lowest resistivity at room temperature?"


What makes silver copper and gold the best conductors?

i think it is gold is the greater and the better conductor than silver, logically all people don't use silver in our appliances, and why they are not using silver in pcb's, motherboards, etc. logically the gold's property is higher than silver, it's not silver, the price is not responsible for why silver is better than gold, common sense, silver is the best conductor bcoz gold is too much expensive than silver, that is a lame reason, price is not responsible in conduction


Is nickel a better electrical conductor than gold?

At room temperature, gold will conduct electricity better than almost any other element other than silver.


What is the best electricial conductor?

the_best_is_silver">the best is silver-----Silver is better than copper which is better than gold which is better than aluminum.The absolute best would be a super-conductor at a temperature of absolute zero.


Does copper conduct electricity better than gold?

Yes, it does! Pure copper is a much better electrical conductor at normal operating conditions. Gold plating is used in electronics and cables because of it's corrosion resistance. I'm not really sure why though. Silver is cheaper than gold, and oxides to silver oxide, which is still a better conductor than gold. pure silver is the best naturally occurring conductor, followed by copper followed (not very closely) by gold.


Is gold a better conductor than germanium?

Yes. Pure gold is a much better conductor than pure germanium is.


Is gold a better conductor than steel?

No, gold is not a better conductor than steel. Steel is a poorer conductor of electricity compared to gold. Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity due to its high conductivity and low resistance.


Is gold the best conductor of electricity?

Silver is the best conductor. Gold runs a close second and is used primarily on contact surfaces because of it's resistance to corrosion. Copper is next, followed by aluminium.CommentCopper is a better conductor than gold.


Is silicon a better conductor of electric current than silver is?

No, silicon is not a better conductor of electricity than silver. Silver is one of the best conductors of electricity due to its high electrical conductivity, surpassed only by materials like copper and gold. Silicon is a semiconductor and has lower conductivity compared to silver.
