2025年4月8日 · gold (Au), chemical element, a dense lustrous yellow precious metal of Group 11 (Ib), Period 6, of the periodic table of the elements. Gold has several qualities that have made it exceptionally valuable throughout history.
Gold was discovered as shining yellow nuggets and is undoubtedly the first metal known to early civilizations. The symbol derives from the Latin word aurum, which is related to the goddess of dawn, Aurora. Early civilizations equated gold with gods and rulers, and gold was sought in their name and dedicated to their glori fication.
