What is the chemical symbol for gold?
Correct answer: Au

The answer is mostly wrong. Silver, gold and platinum are "noble" because they do not react easily with other elements. Unlike most metals that are much more reactive. Some gases are also described as noble for the same reason.

They are "noble" metals because they resist oxidation and corrosion. Not because they're "pretty". Don't be fooled by the answer text.

Got this one thanks to a Bond film: Goldfinger's given name is Auric.

lisamc6966, they are all various amalgams. Copper makes gold a rose color. silver or platinum make it paler "white".
And so on

We Indians are crazy about gold. Every family has some gold stashed as heirloom or from wedding or any of our festivals. Collectively, india probably has the largest gold stashed aside from the government reserves. Diwali festival - gold is a must buy.

Gold: Latin, Aurum
Ag+ is aurous and Ag3+ is aurric. Depending on valency. Interesting, right?

Disregard my comment. My Auto-correct made a fool of me; it was not correct at all.
