I have seventy-nine number of protons & electrons and I have 118 neutrons. My family is called Transition Metals. I live in a place called Period 6! I belong to a society called Group 11, very high-class and sophisticated if I say so myself. I am a soft, shiny yellow metal. I am the most malleable and ductile metal of them all. I am a superior conductor of heat and electricity. I am the most tracked commercial merchandise in the world. I am unaffected by air and most reagents. About two-thirds of my kind are from South Africa. I can also be found in sea water, but no has been able to obtain my cousins from the depths of the ocean.

I am used in the money systems all around the world. Women love me for my jewelery capabilities. I am also used in the medical field quite often, such as dental work (fillings, fake teeth, & grills) and my use for medical implants such as eyes and ears have increased throughout the years. I am also in eating utensils and china plates! I am also widely used in electronics because of my inertness and physical properties. You can also find me in electrical contacts, spring contacts, bonding wire, bumping wire, electroplating, and sputtering targets. I am also broadly used around the world instruments, for all the wonderful musicians!
