Gold is a dense, soft, yellow metal with a bright metallic luster that is extremely malleable and ductile, allowing it to be hammered into thin sheets or drawn into fine wire. It is chemically very unreactive (a "noble" metal), resists corrosion and tarnish, and is an excellent conductor of electricity. Those properties make gold important in electronics, connectors, and high-reliability components, as well as in dentistry and some medical applications. Gold also has major economic and cultural importance as a store of value and medium of exchange (bullion and coins) and as a long-standing symbol of wealth and status in jewelry and ceremonies.
