Answer:

It could be used in electronics, optics and medicine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although gold is easily malleable, it can be combined with other metals to achieve stable alloys, for example, with copper or silver and the objects will be protected against corrosion. Gold is resistant to air and water and is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. It is currently in the form of jewelry. Even in the furniture they get to brown and leaving a wonderful shine. In electronics, optics and medicine, gold is used in different ways.
