There are several reasons; the first is that gold, at room temperature, is a solid, and therefore its atoms are much more compact. Air is composed of several gases, which consist of very widely spaced atoms. Another reason is that gold atoms are simply much larger and heavier than nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide particles, which are the main gases in air :)
I hope that helps; I'm just going on what I remember from grade 9 chemistry ^^'
What else can I help you with?
Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air?
Ammonia is less dense than air at room temperature and pressure. This is why ammonia gas rises in air.
Is dry ice more or less dense than air?
It is more dense.
What has the highest specific gravity Styrofoam Water halite gold?
Gold has the highest specific gravity out of the options given, as it is a dense metal. Styrofoam has a low specific gravity because it is lightweight and mostly made up of air. Water has a specific gravity of 1, while halite (rock salt) is more dense than water but less dense than gold.
Is ice less dense than air?
If it were, it would float in air. Does it float in air? There's your answer.
What is true awarm is less dense than cooler air bwarm air is as dense as cooler air cwarm air has no density dwarm air denser than cool air?
b. Warm air is as dense as cooler air. Temperature has a direct impact on air density, with warmer air being less dense than cooler air at the same pressure.
Is lead more dense than air?
Lead is more dense than air.
What is more dense helium gas or air?
air is more dense than helium
Is cool air dense?
No it is more dense than hot air
Is cool air less dense?
No it is more dense than hot air
Is cold air more or less dense compared to warm air?
Cold air is more dense than warm air.
Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air?
Ammonia is less dense than air at room temperature and pressure. This is why ammonia gas rises in air.
Is the air inside the balloon less dense than the air outside the balloon?
No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.
Is carbon dioxide dense or more dense than air?
Carbon Dioxide is less denser than air.
What is cold air more than warm air?
Cold air is more dense than warm air.
Why is air more buoyant than water?
Air is more buoyant than water because it has a lower density. The density of an object determines its buoyancy - objects with lower density than the fluid they are in will float. Air is less dense than water, so objects are more likely to float in air than in water.
Why does water exert more pressure than air?
Water is more dense than air is.
How much more dense wood than air?
