There are 118 known elements, including 98 naturally occurring and 20 synthesized, with examples like oxygen, iron, and gold. Elements differ in value, with gold being highly prized compared to cheaper elements such as aluminum.

The metal is classified as precious owing to its scarcity and commercial demand. It is very heavy and silvery white and is used in laboratory instruments, jewelry, medical and dental items, and electrical contacts. Because it is immune to air oxidation the metal is often found in native form in nature.
