Gold atoms have an estimate of 79 protons. Gold atoms have six energy levels and within the fourth energy level is where the most protons are included with 32 protons. There also 118 number of neutrons in the gold atom as well.

Gold has 79 protons, 79 electrons, and 118 neutrons. This gives gold an atomic number of 79 and an atomic mass of approximately 197 (rounded to the nearest whole number).
All gold isotopes have 79 protons. If the gold atom has no electric charge it also has 79 electrons.
The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged in order by atomic number. The atomic number of gold (Au) is 79. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atoms of that element. So gold atoms have 79 protons in their nuclei. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the numbers of protons. So a neutral gold atom has 79 electrons.
A metal can have different numbers of protons, as the number of protons dictate which element it is (refer to a periodic table). For example, Lithium (Li) is a metal, with 3 protons, whilst Gold (Au) is also a metal with 79 protons. The number of protons the metal has depends on which metal(/element) it is.
A gold atom typically has 79 protons, 118 neutrons, and 79 electrons.
The atomic numbers of gold and tungsten are 79 and 74 respectively. So gold has more protons.
The atomic number of gold (Au) is 79, therefore each gold atom contains 79 protons in its nucleus. The atomic number is the number of protons for each element.

Fluorine has 9 protons.
Technically if you could change the numbers of protons of any element to the numbers of protons in gold (79), then yes, that would create gold. This was long a dream of the early alchemists. It can only be done, however, in cyclotrons, where the nuclei of an element can be bombarded with high-energy protons. Any tiny amounts of gold created would cost enormously more to create than you would make selling the gold.
Gold & Silver are different because they have different numbers of protons and electrons in their atoms.
The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged in order by atomic number. The atomic number of gold (Au) is 79. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atoms of that element. So gold atoms have 79 protons in their nuclei. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the numbers of protons. So a neutral gold atom has 79 electrons.
2 protons as its atomic number is 2
Since gold (AU) is the 79th element on the periodic table, it will always have 79 protons and electrons. There are 36 possible isotopes of gold so the electrons can fluctuate. If you happen to know the isotopic number, you can easily determine the number of electrons in your sample because these numbers are the same.
