Trivia: Which of the following is NOT true about gold?
It’s malleable
It’s a good conductor
It’s magnetic
It’s a transition metal
The correct answer is It’s magnetic
So why is this answer correct? : Gold, which is found in the transition metal group on the periodic table, is so malleable that it can be shaped into very thin sheets. It is also a great conductor that can outlast copper because it doesn’t tarnish. However, magnets will not stick to gold. In fact, some jewelers use magnets to spot fake gold.
