Which element has the Latin name of 'aurum'?

Answer 1

Gold is the element whose Latin name is aurum. Its atomic number is 79. Its symbol is Au. The standard test for its existence is nitric acid, which dissolves silver and base metals, but not gold. The element has been known since prehistoric times. In fact, it may have been among the first metals to be used by humans, for ornamentation and in rituals, because of its workability. In fact, the gold of Havilah is mentioned early on in the Old Testament, at Genesis 2:11. Additionally, Egyptian hieroglyphs from 2600 B.C. describe gold as 'more plentiful' than dirt. And the world's first known map, which dates to 1160 B.C., is of a Nubian gold mine, in the modern-day area along the Nile from southernmost Egypt through northern Sudan.
