Can gold be a molecular compound if its made up of identical gold atoms?

No, gold made up of identical gold atoms would not be considered a molecular compound. Molecular compounds consist of different types of atoms chemically bonded together. In the case of pure gold, it is considered a metallic element.


Is gold an example of an atom?

A single atom of any element can not be a molecule in the strictest sense, because a molecule must contain at least one chemical bond. (This does not mean that a single atom of gas can not be a kinetic-molecular theory unit, as is true for the noble gases.) A single atom of any element also can not be a compound because that by definition must contain at least two distinct elements.


Is atomic oxygen as molecular compound?

oxygen is an element not a molecular compound as a molecular compounds are chemically combined and are of more then one element.


Can a bar of gold be a molecular compound?

No. Gold is an element and forms relatively few compounds, none of which are likely to be in a bar of gold. A pure gold bar is better described as a unitary solid held together by metallic bonds, in which the valence electrons are distributed throughout the bar in such a way that any two parts of the bar that have the same volume are likely to contain the same fraction of all of the valence electrons.


Is Iron molecular element or molecular compound?

yes


What substance is a compound steel water gold or air?

Gold is a pure substance (element), water is a compound, steel is an alloy, and air is a mixture of gases.


What is the structure of gold?

Given that gold is an element, not a molecular compound, there isn't really a molecular structure to give as all the atoms are identical. There is some good info regarding the atomic composition and layout of the atom at http://www.chemicalelements.com/elements/au.html. You may be asking about the crystalline structure of gold as a solid, but that is something with which I am unfamiliar.
