Gold is a soft metal that is largely unreactive. Gold jewellery can lie underground for thousands of years and emerge shiny after that lengthy exposure to air‚ water‚ and other chemicals in the environment. Gold does dissolve in some solvents as indicated below and does react with halogens. The most common oxidation states of gold are Au(I) and Au(III) but there are a few examples of Au(V) (various anions [AuF6]- and [Au2F10]). The Au(III) ion has the d8configuration which gives rise to many square

When you mix copper‚ silver‚ and nitrate together‚ you will end up with silver nitrate solution will turn blue (it has become copper nitrate). On the piece of copper‚ there would be a coating of solid silver. If a chemical reaction is going to be observed when chemicals are mixed‚ heated or any other means of altering the substance‚ then we will be able to predict the products formed. If it is observed that in the original versus the changed substance no new substances are formed‚ the change is reversible

Topic: Silver is an ancient mineral that dates back since prehistoric times. One thing that makes silver so special is that it was one of the first five metals that we started to use. Silver is found in almost every electronic device there is‚ and as time progresses the usage of it increases‚ unfortunately the amount there is left decreases. How is it created or source of the mineral? (5) Silver is not originated from Earth‚ as it happens it came from space. Many elements were formed in the big

Why is the Pacific Ocean unsafe? In 2011‚ Japan suffered a major travesty due to the 9.0 magnitude earthquake‚ and tsunami that followed soon after. However‚ during that earthquake and tsunami‚ a nuclear power plant known as Fukushima Daichii was hit‚ and exposed to the community. Being exposed to a nuclear power plant is extremely harmful because of the symptoms that may occur from it‚ due to radiation. According to the 2013 edition of the Encyclopedia‚ radiation is a‚ “flow of atomic and subatomic

Sometimes communities have to be resettled‚ with government sanction‚ in order for important mineral deposits to be accessed. This can cause controversy and divisions in the communities concerned. International best practice sets out a number of key stages in such a process including the need for structured consultation‚ fair compensation and the importance of restoring and enhancing the livelihoods of people in their new locations. Recently Anglo American has had to undertake two such relocations
