Bilions of years ago, in the sun some protons and neutrons fused together into atoms and some of those atoms had the right amount of protons and neurtons to be a gold-atom.

also look on wikipedia for nuclear fusion.

How does gold become jewelry?

Gold is extracted from mines in the form of raw ore. The ore is then processed to remove impurities and separate the gold. The purified gold is then melted and poured into molds to create various jewelry pieces, which are further shaped, polished, and finished by skilled artisans.


Using the particle theory of matter why does gold become soluble in water when combined with cyanide?

Gold become soluble in water when combined with cyanide due to the formation of a stable complex ion known as the cyanide complex. The cyanide ligands surround the gold atom, breaking the gold-gold metallic bonds and allowing water molecules to interact with the gold-cyanide complex, making it soluble in water.


What temp does gold become liquid?

Gold melts at a temperature of 1,064 degrees Celsius (1,947 degrees Fahrenheit).


Is gold oxide an ionic or covalent bond?

Gold oxide typically forms a complex ionic bond, as the gold atom tends to lose electrons to become positively charged while the oxide ion gains electrons to become negatively charged. This results in the formation of an ionic compound where the gold and oxygen atoms are held together by electrostatic forces.


How do you become a gold miner?

To become a gold miner, you typically need to have the necessary equipment such as a gold pan, sluice box, or metal detector. You also need to research potential gold mining areas and obtain any required permits or permission to mine in those locations. It's important to learn proper techniques for extracting gold from rivers or mines, as well as how to handle any environmental impacts of mining.
