Question

do gold ornaments corrode, if not why ?

Answer 1

They don't corrode because they don't react with oxygen, moisture or water.

i. The slow process of decay or distinction ions of a metal due to the effect of air, moisture, acids, alkalies, or other chemicals on it is called corrosion.
ii. Ordinarily, gold ornaments do not get corroded.
iii. Gold is one of the least reactive metals. It does not react with air, moisture, sweat, or ordinary pollutants in air or water. Hence, it does not get corroded. 

Answer 2

$\large\boxed{\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow} {Answer}}$

Gold ornaments do not get corroded.

$\bold{\boxed{Justification}}$

1. Gold is a nobel metal. There is no effect of moist air or action of acid on it at any temperature.

2. Pure gold is a very soft metal, it breaks and gets bent easily. Hence, in gold ornaments, gold is alloyed with other metals like copper or silver in appropriate proportion to make it hard and resistant to corrosion.

Hence, gold ornaments do not get corroded.
