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'
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Having a low chemical reactivity gold is useful to made very resistant objects and platings.
what makes Alaska special is its oil gold and seafood
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.
