It is chemically inert and found in nature. It can be dissolved in aqua regia and Fluorine will also react with it though.

Why are alloys more resistant to corrosion than pure metals?
They are not always. Pure metals like gold never rust. Aluminum is also very corrosion resistant and its alloys not necessarily more so. Chromium is another metal that is extremely corrosion resistant and is alloyed with Iron and carbon to make a type of stainless steel.
What element is resistant to corrosion in seawater?
Titanium and zirconium, for example, are resistant to corrosion in seawater.
What purpose does gold serve in the world?
Jewellery, electrical contacts, corrosion resistant coating, reflective foil.
Why is Jewelry made with platinum?
Like gold, platinum is very resistant to corrosion. However, platinum is much harder than gold so it does not get scratched or dented as easily.
How do manufacturers of tin cans prevent corrosion from occurring?
Typically they are coated or plated in corrosion resistant substances.
What element in its pure form is highly resistant to rust or corrosion and is metal?
Gold
How do gold's chemical properties make it useful?
Gold is very resistant to corrosion and is also very unreactive.
What is the Metal is corrosion resistant?
Well the way you phrased your question is that one is more than another but actually there are multiple such as Nickel,Aluminum,and Gold. Whitch are all equally corrosion resistant.
When is gold wiring needed?
Gold wiring is needed for these purposes: - Very low resistance - Corrosion-proof wiring - Low resistance contacts points - Failure-resistant microcircuitry - Areas exposed to chemicals and chemical vapors Gold plated wiring is needed for these purposes: - Corrosion-resistant copper circuit boards. - Circuit board edge connectors - Trouble-free contact pins and sockets - Corrosion-resistant wiring - Outdoor devices
