D’OR EST LE NOMBRE
My name is Gold, my atomic number is 79, and my Symbol is Au. This comes from the Latin word ‘Aurum’, which means ‘shining or glowing dawn’. I am a key element in the transmittal of electrical signals throughout the body and I am within every one of you.
I amount to 0.2 milligrams of your total body weight. If form was given to me, I would be a solid cube of 0.22 millimetres.
I have been around forever.
