Brief Description:
Gold, with its yellow color, is the most malleable and ductile of metals. It is often alloyed to give it strength. It is widely used in jewelry and as a conductor in electronics. Gold will not tarnish in air and is unaffected by most reagents. Sources: Gold is found naturally and can be collected through panning, though most sources have been exhausted. Found in many ores as well, gold can be extracted through a series of chemical treatments.
