Gold is extremely ductile. It can be drawn into a monatomic wire, and then stretched more before it breaks. [12]Ductility is especially important in metalworking, as materials that crack, break or shatter under stress cannot be manipulated using metal-forming processes such as hammering, rolling, drawing or extruding.
Group 11, by modern IUPAC numbering, [1] is a group of chemical elements in the periodic table, consisting of copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), and roentgenium (Rg), although no chemical experiments have yet been carried out to confirm that roentgenium behaves like the heavier homologue to gold.
Therefore, plasmons are hard to excite on a bulk metal. This is why gold and copper look like lustrous metals albeit with a dash of color. However, in colloidal gold the metallic bonding is confined to a tiny metallic particle, which prevents the oscillation wave of the plasmon from 'running away'. The momentum selection rule is therefore ...

Gold is a soft metal (MH 2.5–3) [41] that is easily deformed. [42] It has a close-packed face-centred cubic structure (BCN 12). [ 34 ] The chemistry of gold is dominated by its +3 valence state; all such compounds of gold feature covalent bonding, [ 43 ] as do its stable +1 compounds. [ 44 ]
Increases high-temperature corrosion and strength of gold-based alloys. [17] Increases ductility of gold-based alloys, promotes their wetting of refractory materials, namely carbides and graphite. When present in alloys being joined, may destabilize the surface oxide layer (by oxidizing and then volatilizing) and facilitate wetting. Cobalt ...
On gold surfaces gold-indium intermetallics tend to be formed, and the joint then fails in the gold-depleted zone and the gold-rich intermetallic. [37] Less gold dissolution and more ductile than lead-tin alloys. [12] Good thermal fatigue properties. Pb 60 In 40: 195: 225 [16] Pb: No: In40. Low gold-leaching. Good thermal fatigue properties.
