Gold is not solluable, it is a noble metal, that means hard - very hard - to

oxidize (and then dissolve). To dissolve gold, very special chemicals are needed,

especially a combination of an oxidizer and 'solvent'

Which property of gold is NOT a reason why gold is often used to make metals?

The high reactivity of gold is NOT a reason why gold is often used to make jewelry. Gold is unreactive, which makes it highly resistant to corrosion and tarnishing, making it an ideal choice for jewelry and decorative items.


What is special about the reactivity of gold?

Gold is noble what means it is not reactive, most high in the electromotive series, meaning it is hard to being oxidized, give electrones. Gold compounds decompose under heat or light to free gold


Does gold and silver have low reactivity?

Yes, gold and silver are at the bottom of the reactivity chart and therefore less likely to rust when in contact with water. Iron on the other hand, is at the top of the reactivity chart and will react to water in a way so that it would rust. This is why we do not use iron, which is cheap and durable, to make coins almost anytime in history.


What is gold's reactivity?

Gold is a very unreactive metal due to its stability and reluctance to participate in chemical reactions. It does not easily tarnish or corrode, making it a popular choice for jewelry and other applications requiring a stable and durable material.


What can be deduced about the relative reactivity of copper and gold?

Copper is more reactive than gold because it can easily undergo oxidation reactions to form compounds like copper oxide. Gold, on the other hand, is relatively inert and not easily reactive with many substances. This difference in reactivity is why gold is prized for its resistance to tarnishing and corrosion.

What is special about the reactivity of gold that makes it so valuable?

There's nothing special about it. Gold is more or less nonreactive, but that's not a special property. What makes it valuable is its rarity, not its nonreactivity. Mercury is similarly nonreactive, but not nearly as valuable.


What is about the reactivity of gold that makes it so valuable?

Having a low chemical reactivity gold is useful to made very resistant objects and platings.


What makes Alaska special?

what makes Alaska special is its oil gold and seafood


Why is gold low in its reactivity?

Gold is low in reactivity because it has a stable electron configuration with a full outermost energy level. This full outer shell makes gold less likely to form chemical bonds with other elements, resulting in low reactivity. Additionally, the strong metallic bonds in gold make it resistant to oxidation and corrosion.
