If gold rusts then what will iron do?

Gold does not rust; it is highly resistant to corrosion and tarnish. Rust is a specific term for the oxidation of iron, which leads to the formation of iron oxide when it reacts with moisture and oxygen. If gold were to "rust," it would imply a significant change in its chemical properties, but in reality, gold remains stable while iron is prone to oxidation and deterioration. Thus, if gold rusted, it would suggest a fundamental shift in its characteristics, while iron would continue to rust as usual.

What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?

Gold ore contains gold metal, which is highly visible due to its distinctive yellow color. Iron ore, on the other hand, contains iron in the form of iron compounds such as hematite and magnetite, which do not exhibit the same visible metal characteristics as gold. The presence of visible gold in gold ore is due to its high density and purity compared to iron compounds found in iron ore.

Why is iron OK to use under gold in jewelry?

Iron is safe to use under gold in jewelry because gold is chemically inert and does not react with iron. This prevents any chemical reactions or tarnishing on the gold surface. However, it is important to make sure that the iron does not come in direct contact with the gold to avoid any potential scratching or damage to the gold finish.
