No such thing, because when you zoom in down to the nano scale gold is not gold anymore as its properties change at the nano scale.

Why do people mix pure metals such as gold with other metals?

People mix pure metals with other metals to create alloys that have improved properties, such as increased strength, durability, or resistance to corrosion. Alloys can also provide cost savings by using less of the more expensive pure metal while still achieving the desired characteristics.


Why are gold and platinum found as pure metals?

Gold and platinum are found as pure metals because they are very unreactive and resistant to corrosion. This allows them to exist in nature in a relatively pure form without reacting with other elements. Additionally, their chemical properties make them highly resistant to oxidation and weathering, further contributing to their presence as pure metals.


How many mixed and pure metals are there?

Pure metals: gold,silver,iron. Mixtures:steel I can't give more............. You know who ever is asking this question well a 5th grader just answer


Why do we use alloys instead of pure metals?

Alloys are sometimes more useful than pure metals because alloys tend to be stronger though not necessarily. Pure metals tend to be softer than alloys, which are a mix of two or more metals, and therefore get dented, scratched, or broken more easily. Gold used in jewelry is a good example. Metal alloys have different structural and behavioral characteristics than pure metals. Alloying a metal also gives it a different appearance. In some cases alloys may result in a lighter metal without sacrificing other necessary characteristics. They may also be more cost effective.
