About Gold
Gold is a metal with atomic number 79 whose compounds commonly contain gold in the +1 or +3 oxidation state. Its resistance to corrosion and good electrical conductivity support contacts, thin coatings and bonding wires in electronics. Finely divided gold also serves in selected catalysts, including systems used to manufacture vinyl acetate.
