2022: ☢️ Valence Electrons in Gold (Au) [& Facts, Color, Discovery ...

A valence electron is an outer shell electron and may participate in the formation of a chemical bond. Ok but how many valence electrons does an atom of Gold have?

In the case of Gold the valence electrons is 1,3. Now let's check the facts about Gold...

Gold Overview

Gold Valence Electrons

1,3

Atomic Number

79

Learn more about the atomic number.

Atomic Mass

196,96654

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Atomic Symbol

Au

State at 20 °C

Solid

Description

Soft, malleable, bright yellow metal.

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.

Name Origin

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

Sources

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

Discovery

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

Colored Periodic Table

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

Along with basic atom / element information (like Gold valence electrons 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. "Valence Electrons in Gold (Au) [& Facts, Color, 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.
