Hi
 I thought I should mention that gold does corrode.
Not as much as copper or iron but the deposits of gold
ore wouldn't be there if it didn't form gold salts.
Most mining operations, of gold, depend on the fact that
gold forms salts. They usually make a salt of arsenic
but it is still a salt. Gold doesn't oxidize much but
it is effected by chemicals.
