Gold is actually very soft. If rings were made of pure gold they would bend and become disfigured. Other elements are added to give the ring its stability.

olasank [31]

Please help me asap <br><br> Show the correct relationship between altitude and boiling point.
kherson [118]

boiling point is the temp at which a liquid's vapor pressure equals the external pressure. At higher altitudes the external pressure is lower so vapor pressure becomes equal to external pressure at a lower temperature which is why  boiling point decreases with increasing altitude.

 I hope this helps you
