The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Gold (That most people don't know).
Gold Overview
Atomic Symbol
Au (Gold)
Description
Soft, malleable, bright yellow metal.
State at 20 °C
Solid
Sources
Found in veins in the crust, with cooper ore and native .

Uses
Very malleable. Used in electronics, jewelry and coins. It is a good reflector of infrared radiation, so a thin film of gold is applied to the glass of skyscrapers to reduce internal heating from sunlight.
