I think it'd because of (4), the reactivity of gold atoms, or rather, it's unreactivity. Gold, unlike most metals, doesn't form an oxide layer when exposed to air (Which is why it's so valued in jewellery, the metal will never tarnish, only stay gold forever). This makes it weaker, and so it can be formed in to thinner sheets.

However, (3), the nature of bonds between gold atoms also allows for the metal to be flattened, as metallic bonds aren't amazingly strong, and allow for metals to bend. This is what makes pure metals so weak, and why we use alloys.

Complete the nuclear equation
allsm [11]
In order to solve this question, we must apply the conservation of mass. The total number of nucleons (upper number) and protons (lower number) must be equal before and after the decay. The new nucleon number is
218 - 4
= 214
And new proton number is
84 - 2
= 82
Next, we must identify which element has the proton number 82. That would be lead, Pb.
Therefore, the answer is 
5. ²¹⁴Pb₈₂

What is the volume of a liquid that has a density 3.65g/ml and a mass of 5.61g
Lorico [155]

Answer:

<h2>1.54 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question we have

volume =  \frac{5.61}{3.65}  \\  =1.536986...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.54 mL</h3>
