  • The atomic number of gold is79 and is chemically represented as"Au".
  • In the earlier time, gold is found on earth that came out of the debris of dead stars.
  • As the earth is formed by heavy metals such as iron, gold also plays an important role in the formation.
  • If no other such event of the universe occurs then there would be no chances to find the gold on the earth.
