gold is in group 12 on the periodic table.
what group is gold in on the periodic table?
group 12
from left to right across the four blocks of the long- or 32-column form of the periodic table are a series of linking or bridging groups of elements, located approximately between each block. these groups, like the metalloids, show properties in between, or that are a mixture of, groups to either side. chemically, the group 3 elements, scandium, yttrium, lanthanum and actinium behave largely like the alkaline earth metals or, more generally, "s" block metals but have some of the physical properties of "d" block transition metals. lutetium and lawrencium, at the end of the end of the "f" block, may constitute another linking or bridging group. lutetium behaves chemically as a lanthanide but shows a mix of lanthanide and transition metal physical properties. lawrencium, as an analogue of lutetium, would presumably display like characteristics. the coinage metals in group 11 (copper, silver, and gold) are chemically capable of acting as either transition metals or main group metals. the volatile group 12 metals, zinc, cadmium and mercury are sometimes regarded as linking the "d" block to the "p" block. notionally they are "d" block elements but they have few transition metal properties and are more like their "p" block neighbors in group 13. the relatively inert noble gases, in group 18, bridge the most reactive groups of elements in the periodic table—the halogens in group 17 and the alkali metals in group 1.
