Nuggets of gold on periodic table
Gold. Nuggets of gold photographed on the periodic table of the elements. Gold is the 79th element of the periodic table, and has a relative atomic mass of 196.97. It has been known since prehistoric times, as it appears in nature as a free metal; either in veins in quartz or as nuggets in alluvial gravels. Its main use is in monetary systems and jewellery, due to its relative rarity, attractive appearance and lack of tarnishing. Gold is also used in the electronics industry as a conductor. It has no known biological role, although compounds of gold are used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of gold nuggets placed delicately on the periodic table of elements. Gold, being the 79th element, holds a significant place in both science and human history. With a relative atomic mass of 196.97, this precious metal has been cherished since prehistoric times. In its natural form, gold appears as either free metal found in veins within quartz or as alluring nuggets nestled within alluvial gravels. Its rarity, attractive appearance, and resistance to tarnish make it highly sought after for monetary systems and exquisite jewelry pieces. Beyond its ornamental value, gold also plays a crucial role in the electronics industry due to its exceptional conductivity properties. However, despite these remarkable applications, no known biological function exists for this illustrious element. Interestingly though, compounds derived from gold have found their way into medical treatments such as rheumatoid arthritis therapy. This demonstrates how even an element primarily associated with opulence can contribute to advancements in healthcare. Through this thought-provoking image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the intricate relationship between chemistry and our everyday lives. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with not only understanding but also harnessing nature's hidden treasures for various purposes beyond commercial gain.
