1.because gold is shiny and bendable people like shiny things .
2.it dose not wear away or erode like other metels.
3. Transvaal Province of south africa.
4.because of the atoms and how they are arranged.

1]. Because it is so dense that you could cut it with a knife to make the perfect shapes for jewerly.
2].Becuase gold reactswith very few other chemicals.
3].Transvaal Province of South Africa
4].It’s malleable because it can be bended it to different shapes, it’s ductile because it can be easily stretched, it’s a excellent conducter because it lets heat and electricity run through it.

(1) Well, It is that because of how little gold there is. Plus of how rare it is. Gold is a very rare and expensive thing these days.
(2)They leave it like that because they don’t want to mess up the way of the people’s culture. They could show how back then they made there gold.
(3) California. South Africa also had some gold but not as much as California.
(4)Because the scientist have researched the gold’s materials. They have also tested it.

1. Because it is soft enough to cut with a knive. The reason why it is so soft is because its very great density.
2. Because the gold hasn’t combined with the metals bismuth, tellurium, or selenium.
3. That would be South Africa.
4.Because it is soft enough to bend or beat into many different shapes. It is ductile because it can be stretched into extremely fine wires, it is an excellent conductor because it lets heat and electricity flow through it very easily.

1. Because it is so flexible you can change it into anything that you want and also it is able to have luster after a long time.
2. Because it reacts with few other chemicals so it stays pure.
3. South Africa
4. Because its atoms are bonded together very loosely. That means that they are able to slid past each other very easily with not much force. Also it would let electricity pas through it to create heat more easily.

1) It never corrodes, It can be bent to any shape you want, and it doesn’t react to water, air, and most acids.
2) The reason it is in a solid form is because it only melts at a temperature of 1,934* F, Which no human can withstand.
3)Africa is the country that produces the most gold.
4) It is malleable, ductile, and an exellent conductor, because It lets heat and elecricity flow through it easily, it is bendable, and can be stretched into fine wire.

1. It is worth a lot, it is very shinny, and it does not react to water, rain, or wind.
2. It does not erod as easy as other metal it will have to be in contact with the metals bismuth, tellurium, or selenium.
3. It is mostly found in South Africa, Russia, the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and China.
4. It is that way because of its atoms.

1.It is perfect because it is soft enough to cut with a knife, therefore it can bend and shape easilly.
2.The reason for this is because gold reacts with very few other chemicals.
3. The country that produces the most gold is Transvaal Province of South America, which produces 3,300 tons of gold annually.
4.Gold is like this because of the way its atoms are arranged.

1. It’s luster never fades and it is soft enough to cut with a knife, which makes it perfect for intricate jewerlry, artwork, and many industrial components.
2. It reacts with with very few other chemicals .
3.Transvaal Province of South Africa creates.
4. It’s malleable which means that it is soft enough to bend or beat into many different shapes.
It is very ductile, this means that it can be easily strectched into extremely fine wire, especially when first softened by heat.
It is an excellent thermal and electrical conductor in other words it lets heat and electricity flow through it easily.

1.Gold is most precious because it is so rich and shiney and worth a lot of money.
2. The reason is that gold is good as new even as old as it is and is worth a lot of money and nobody has ever touched that gold before.
3.South Africa is where it is mostly produced.
4.It is a good conductor because it is a shiney metal and that it is not found a lot.

1} Gold has a great density, gold is soft and can be cut with a knife.
2} Gold can hold its form so long because gold is soft but it has atoms in it.
3} Transvaal Province of South Africa
4} Gold is malleable, ductile, and an excellent conductor because it is soft and easy to cut, bend, flatten, and shape.

1.Gold is a perfect metal for things because it is can bend very easily and they can shape and stretch it so it could be made into a shape suitable for jewelry, artwork, and industrial things.
2. Gold does not wear or corrode away, it is unlike all the other metals that do.
3. The Transvaal Province of South Africa produces the most gold.
4.The atoms in gold are bonded very loosely together.

(1).Gold is the perfect jewelry because of its popularity. Also gold is very expensive and many people treasure gold.
(2).The reason for this is because they do not want to mess up the gold and make it different from what it is. Also they do not want to change how it is made.
(3). California is where alot of gold is found, and also where it was first found. Also the people in South Africa find alot of gold there too.
(4). Gold is malleable and ductile because scientist have reaserched why it is like that.

1. Gold is the perfect metal because it is easy to mold, never loses it`s luster and never corrodes.
2.It reacts to few chemicals.
3.The Transval Province of South Africa.
4.It does this because of the way it`s atoms are arranged, it`s atoms are bonded together loosely.

[1] Because you could cut fold and beet on it because it is so pure.
[2] It does not or takes like forever for it to corrod.
[3] South Africa because it now producesover a quarter of the worlds annual gold production of 3300 tons.
[4] It is like that because of how its materail is.

1) It is perfect because you can shape them how ever you want and the characteristic of it is attractive to humans.
2) The cause is that gold reacts with very few other chemicals.
3) Transvall Province of Shouth Africa.
4) It is malleable because it is soft enough to bend into many shapes. It is ductile because it can be streached into extremely fine wire. It is an exellent conductor because it lets heat and electricity flow through it.

1. Because it is very easy to bend or beat into shape so that makes it easier to make jewerly.
2. Because gold will never corrode because it never mixes with another elemment to corrode the gold.
3.Transvall Province
4. Because of the atoms and the way they are arranged.

1) because that it streches and bens so that you can shape it. But you could also stech it as far as you can and make it into a gold leaf.
2) Beacause that it never looses its luster and its shinnyness. so even in the dirt it will always keep its luster.
3) cal;ifornia had the gold rush so i think that they have the most gold.
4) The prepotion of earth’s crust that is made of gold is only five billionths.

#1 gold has a small density and can be cut with a knife.
#2 gold hold it’s form for a long time and keeps it’s shape.
#3Transvaal province of South America.
#4 Because it is soft and easy to cut bend and flatten shape.

1. Gold the perfect metal for jewelry, artwork, and many industrial components because soft enough to cut with a knife despite of its great
density.
2. Gold is usually combined with the metals bismuth, tellurium, or selenium.
3. The country that produces the most gold is Transvaal Province of South Africa.
4. Gold is malleable, ductile, and an excellent conductor because malleable means that gold is soft enough to bend orbeat onto many shapes ,ductile means easly stretched into extremely fine wire,and gold is anexelent conducter because of the atoms,the tiny particles that make it up, are arranged.

1. Gold is glistening bright yellow, gold is a heavy metal that is treasured in every country of the world. Almost all metals have characacteristic luster (shinniness)- that is, they reflect light in a morrorlike way.
2. Prospectors usually extract tiny crystals of gold, just a few millimeters in size. If they are very lucky, they may come across larger lumps of gold, known as nuggets.
3. The lending areas for goldmining include South Africa, Russia, the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and China.
4. As traces of gold have been found and used by many anicent civilizations, it is impossible to say who first discovered this metal. But historic treasures and records that many survive to this day show that many early peoples had a passion for gold. Cities have been foundeed and expeditions and wars started by people scrabbling for more of this precious metal.
