Gold has a gold color, is softer ( try scratching it in a unobtrusive place), and it is NOT magnetic. Copper is very hard, has a bronze color, and at least has a weak magnetic field. Copper is also less dense that gold and is a better conductor of heat and electricity. Copper will tarnish over time while gold will never tarnish.

Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.


Can anyone explain the science behind copper into gold or show a website that tells the explanation?

Copper into gold, means putting copper powder in gold salt solution. Because copper is closer to hydrogen then gold, in the electromotive scale, it will dissolve, freeing the gold
