Electrical Conductivity of Gold (Au) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

Electrical current is one of the most important and pratical discoveries of mankind. To have electrical flow we need to have a material with electrical conductivity, such as Gold. Ok, so what is the electrical conductivity of an atom of Au?

Note: Learn more about the electrical conductivity here.

In the case of Gold the electrical conductivity is 0.452 10^6/cm ohm. There are cool facts about Gold that most don't know about. Let me show you...

Gold Data

Gold Electrical Conductivity

0.452 10^6/cm ohm

State at 20 °C

Solid

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.

Atomic Mass

196,96654

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Sources

Found in veins in the crust, with cooper ore and native .

Description

Soft, malleable, bright yellow metal.

Atomic Symbol

Au

Name Origin

Anglo-Saxon: geolo (yellow); symbol from Latin: aurum (shining dawn).

Atomic Number

79

Discovery

Discovered By: Known to the ancients.
Year: Unknown
Location: Unknown

Are you having trouble understanding the basics of atomic elements? This video will walk you through:
  • What is an element
  • What is a substance
  • What Elements look like
  • How a small number of atoms can be joined and form completely different substances

Colored Periodic Table

Need an editable periodic table to edit? Maybe add your school logo, work team or anything else to make your paper look cool?

Along with basic atom / element information (like Gold electrical conductivity and all the other atomic data), it also comes with color coded info about: State (Gas, Liquid or Solid at room temperature), Groups/series details and much more...

How about an incentive to share this post? (You will help other colleagues find this blog)

Download and enjoy this complete and colored periodic table for you to edit and enjoy. It's in an editable excel format or .ods (open).

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Electrical Conductivity of Gold (Au) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
