All atoms of any element contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Gold has only one natural isotope 197Au which has 79 protons and electrons and 118 neutrons. The main component of any atom is, as early researchers discovered, "empty space" in the region occupied by the electron cloud.

Gold is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 197.
Francium is obtained only by a nuclear reaction: 197Au + 18O = 210Fr + 5 n

1. As a natural element francium exist in infinitesimal concentrations in uranium ores (as a progeny of 235U in the decay chain). 2. Francium can be also obtained by nuclear reactions: 197Au + 18O----------210Fr + 5 n

The equation for alpha decay of mercury-201 is: ^201Hg -> ^197Au + ^4He This means that mercury-201 decays into gold-197 and helium-4 by emitting an alpha particle.
Francium was first obtained by Marguerite Perey in 1939 from the radioactive decay process of actinium. It is a highly unstable and rare alkali metal that is found in trace amounts in uranium and thorium minerals.
Atomic weight is neutrons plus protons. If the atomic weight is 197, we subtract the number of protons which we know is 79 because that's what makes it gold, we get 118.

Yes, while Gold (Au) does have a number of isotopes (195Au, 196Au, 198Au and 199Au), these are all synthetic (made by man) and unstable. The only stable isotope of Gold is 197Au, and his means that all the atoms in a piece of natural gold are indeed 100% the same as each other .
Gold, with the atomic number 79, has 79 protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, so gold also has 79 electrons. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass of gold, which is typically around 197. This gives gold approximately 118 neutrons.
