Question

why don't we use pure gold for making ornaments.
Long answer please​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pure gold is known as 24 carrot gold.

It is very soft and can be easily bent without much effort!! So, we can't use pure gold in making ornaments cause they are not hard.

To prevent this gold is alloyed with either silver or copper. This alloy is hard enough for making ornaments. Generally 22 carot gold is used in making ornaments.
