Gold is a precious metal used for jewellery. Not very reactive. It has two different oxidation states, namely (I) the oxidation state called Auric and (III) the oxidation state called Aurum. It has the special property of being malleable and ductile. That is, its malleability allows it to be converted into thin sheets, and its ductility allows it to be drawn into fine wires.
