What is the definition of Gold?
It is a soft, yellow, corrosion-resistant element, the most malleable and ductile metal, occurring in veins and alluvial deposits. A good thermal and electrical conductor, gold is generally alloyed to increase its strength. The Physical and Chemical Properties are the characteristics of a substance, like Gold, which distinguishes it from any other substance.
