There’s an episode of the twilight zone where gold loses its value because it’s become inexplicably easy to manufacture, but it was unconvincing because they fail to recognize how much gold you could manufacture while still increasing the demand.

Wow an awesome video I have awaited for a long time!! One of my favorite metals. Also I loved the intro!! When discussing the harness of gold do be aware that gold bars like those have been work hardened so a bit of annealing will make it softer.
Gold has an amalgamation with mercury. I thought that was a pretty big one, and that it deserves a mention. People in the Philippines use this phenomena to mine for gold. Take some mercury and run it over the gold ore, until the mercury is full, er, saturated. Then burn the mercury off. Crazy.

This is my favorite video on your channel. I love all the precious metals and try to tell people why they will have value for the forseeable future of humanity but a lot just dismiss them as "worthless rocks" mostly Gold and Silver because that is commonly sold as jewellery. Maybe that is true for mined diamonds as its value is purely as display cause lab diamond can be used for scientific applications but not the metals, none of them are useless and a replacement of any would make things less efficient even if they work and efficiency is a cost to everyone.
True fact! That's why gold as an investment might not make you rich but it'll ensure you never end up poor. It has value for a reason and it's been like that for a long time, zero chance that'll change.
@@zapador On the mean it retains its purchasing power and when its underpriced to the mean avg. it does make you richer depending on the exit but still doesn't lose purchasing power if you never exit.
Only IR light, certainly not beta, gamma or cosmic radiation. Some protection against alpha particle radiation depending on the thickness of the foil. A sheet of paper will also shield against alpha particles.
If you hold a piece of gold foil against a strong backlight, it will appear bluish. It blocks (and reflect) the longer wavelengths of visible light, (that's why it appears yellowish) but allows the shorter wavelength to pass thru. In other words, it can't even block blue light let alone UV, or other higher enegry radiations. That is for a very thin foil. If it's thick enough then it will block most stuff.
I thought this video meant ELECTRICALLY resistant... And was like wait what? Gold is an excellent electrical conductor. Feel duped lol video is about its chemical resistance and characteristics.
Corrosion is a natural surface phenomena, the reason metals corrode is because the metallic form used by us is thermodynamically unstable, metals are typically found in oxides naturally which is what all metals corrode to, except gold, which is never found in an oxide naturally due to its high thermodynamic stability
HELLO,It would be very interesting to make a series of videos with each element of the platinum family.,( platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, ruthenium metals). Tanks, very interesting and educativ video👍👍👍👍
Your content is amazing ,Love chemistry ,Actually I was waiting for gold(Au) since past few days,and it came that is so nice, see if you can try carbon
Gold is valuable because hundreds of years ago, people realized that gold did not tarnish or rust. They assumed that was because it had a magic power which would cause peoples' aging to slow down by being near it. And the more you had, the slower you'd age. That's why it's so valuable still.
There is an acid that can attack gold on its own, without other acid or oxidizer. That is H2SeO4. Heating gold with it will generate water, SeO2 and Au2(SeO4)3. Also, chloryl perchlorate can react to produce ClO2 gas and chloryl perchloratoaurate (ClO2) [Au(ClO4) 4]
You kind of inverted the biting test. In the old days what the biting test showed was if a coin was made of gold plated lead. A coin metal like 10% silver or copper and 90% gold would not get a serious mark from biting. A lead coin (slightly thicker to have the same weight as a slightly denser 90% gold coin) would yield if you bit it and reveal the lead underneath.
Great very informative video. As always! Very nice nugget and natural gold pieces. Very beautiful photos. Keep it up. Thumbs up! I have subscribed to you for a few years.
gold is quite a useful element so please don't waste it on jewellery, because there are many alloys that can look like gold or even better & shinier than gold and you can just use cheaper metalls that are not so useful as replacement. Its kinda selfish to wear such useful metal as jewellery. same goes for platinum, too
I've heard that the red color in red stained glass windows comes from gold nanoparticles, and that was centuries before the term nanoparticle was coined.
Your awesome! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year :) Your chemistry videos are most excellent & your english tinted with european hint fun to listen to :)
I have used potassium gold chloride as a photographic toner. It rendered a nice bluish tint to the prints. I think it was about fifty bucks for a quarter gram..
It is interesting how the most reactive and least reactive metals are the only two with a beautiful gold colour.
Cäsium gold
I think that Platinum is slightly less reactive I am not sure as some say that gold is less some say platinum is
Yes, its the most resistant metal. It resists coming to me no matter how hard I try.... 😒
Just like women
