The Fascinating World of Gold and Aluminium: Malleability, Alloys, and Everyday Uses

Gold is the most malleable and ductile metal, capable of being beaten into thin sheets; a single gram can cover a square meter, and an ounce can produce 300 square feet of gold leaf. This gold leaf can even become translucent with a greenish-blue hue due to its light-reflecting properties. The chemical symbol for gold is Au. In contrast, aluminium is a lightweight and durable metal, commonly used in alloys for products like cans, cookware, and various industrial applications. Both metals have unique characteristics that make them invaluable in countless fields.

  2. INFORMATION Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all metals; a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become translucent. The transmitted light appears greenish blue, because gold strongly reflects yellow and red.
