Gold does react with halogens.
The electrical resistivity of gold is 0 022 micro ohm m at 20 c 2 20 10 8 ω m.
As we can see the melting point of gold nanoparticles can be even lower than room temperature 23 25 c when the size decreases to less than about 1 4 nm.
Sublimation the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through a liquid phase.
Melting gold normally requires temperatures upwards of 1 064 c 1 947 f but physics is never quite that simple.

6 in contrast in a 4 nm particle there are nearly 2000 gold.
Researchers from among others chalmers university of technology sweden have now managed for the first time to make the surface of a gold object melt at room temperature.
It will for example react very slowly with chlorine gas at room temperature to form gold chloride aucl 3.
Gold is a chemical element that exists in a dense malleable solid state at room temperature.
The temperature at which the liquid gas phase change occurs.
When the tension rises unexpected things can happen not least when it comes to gold atoms.
An attractive and highly valued metal gold has been known for at least 5500 years.
At that size there are only about 85 atoms present in each nanoparticle and most of the atoms are exposed on the surface.
A team of researchers has now found a way to melt gold at room temperature.
