What is golds natural state of matter?

Answer 1

It is found as a pure element (small grains of pure gold). Rarely, it is found as nuggets of pure gold, but since I assume that you are asking with regards to elemental or compound, it is found as an element.

answ2. recent work shows that the grain size of gold particles increases as the gravel becomes more re-worked! This apparently anomalous result is believed to be because of the almost perfect 'nobility' (lack of reactivity), of the metal. So when two gold flakes come together, they can alloy together.

This was first noticed in the 1980s (?) when an old gold coin was found on the floor of a mine adit, (or drive) over which acid mine water was flowing. This coin had micro crystals of gold growing on its surface.

This also goes some way to explaining the occasional gold nugget.

[Old time miners, on finding a nugget, reasoned that there must be a seam of gold in the vicinity of which the nugget was representative. sadly NO.]

Answer 2

Gold can be found naturally as veins running throughout granite and quartz, or with the element tellurium.

Answer 3

The natural state of platinum at room temperature is that of a solid. The element platinum has an atomic number of 78 and is classified as a metal.

Answer 4

Excepting Mercury which is a liquid all the metals are solids at 20 0C.

Answer 5

The natural state of silver is solid at room temperature.

Answer 6

Almost all the metals are solids in room temperature. Hg is the only metal in the liquid state.

Answer 7

Excepting mercury, metals are solid at room temperature.

Answer 8

golds natural state of matter is a solid

Answer 9

solid
