Hussong, Institute of Organic Chemistry Solutions of the three metal carbene complexes of copper, silver and gold (left to right) Some fundamental properties of the coinage metal elements gold, silver and copper, such as chemical behaviour or colours, are already predetermined in their atoms. The unique properties of gold can be largely explained by Albert Einstein’s来源(Source From):
