In: Chemistry 3 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted May 25, 2020 0 Comments It depends what you are going to do with it. Gold is very ductile (can be made very thin) hence gold leaf so there are normally only a few atoms of gold in thickness, so can very easily be punctured since pure gold is a fairly soft metal.
