Question

predict whether a gold ring would be a good conductor of electricity. What kind of bonds does gold have. How do these bonds explain gold's properties

Answer 1

Gold is a chemical element with the place on the periodic table of AU (from Latin aurum.) It is a pure form of metal, making it a conductor. As you know, metal is a conductor. It does retain its conductivity due to the lack of tarnishing. Though silver and copper are better with conducting, gold would make a decent conductor.
