Why do gold ornaments look new even after several years of use?
Answer :
When exposed to atmosphere gold does not get corroded even after its several years of use. This is so because gold is very least reactive metal so it remains unaffected by air, water, and other gases present in the atmosphere. That is why, Gold ornaments look new even after several years of use.
