gold (metal) (<gold and gold alloy>, nonferrous metal, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Pure metallic element having symbol Au and atomic number 79; a soft, inert, shiny reddish yellow metal that is very malleable and ductile. Gold has been highly valued and found in artifacts dating to before 5000 BCE. Native gold, found in quartz veins (vein gold) and alluvial deposits (placer gold), generally contains some silver and copper. Gold is purified by dissolution in mercury or cyanide solutions, by melting, or by electrodeposition. The purity of commercial gold is expressed in karats which is the number of parts of gold in 24 parts of the alloy. Today gold is primarily used for monetary systems and for jewelry.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Te gebruiken voor het zuivere metaalelement met het symbool Au en het atoomnummer 79. Het is een zacht, zwaar, chemisch inactief en geel metaal en wordt al sinds de oudheid als edel beschouwd. Het dient in vele culturen als de basis voor materiële handelswaarden. Ook te gebruiken voor het metaal wanneer het wordt bewerkt en vervormd om, meestal in combinatie met andere stoffen, verschillende voorwerpen en materialen te maken. 
Spanish ..... Úsese para el elemento metálico puro con el símbolo Au y el número atómico 79; metal amarillo blando, pesado, químicamente inactivo, considerado un metal precioso desde los tiempos más antiguos y utilizado por varias culturas como base para los valores en el comercio material. Úsese también para este metal procesado y conformado, habitualmente en combinación con otras sustancias, para realizar diversos objetos y materiales.
