If by "stronger" you mean hard to bend, then platinum is less bendable than gold.

For many applications gold is mixed with other materials in order to make it "harder" because pure gold is so soft.

But neither gold or platinum are used for their strength, gold is mostly used for its electric properties (e.g. the connector on your mobile phone) and platinum as a catalyst in chemical reactions.

What is Mercury into gold?

No. One can not transform one element into another. However Mercury may be used to extract gold from gold containing sand. The gold will dissolve in the mercury which can then be boiled away to leave the gold. This will APPEAR to make mercury change into gold but this is not the case, you have to put the gold into the mercury first.PLEASE NOTE - Mercury is VERY VERY toxic/poisonous and using it to extract gold this way is dangerous to the environment and harmful to the people doing it (especially the boiling away mercury phase) - do not refine gold this way, use a mechanical separation process.
