The mining of Gold is extremely bad for the environment and is one of the most destructive industries in the world! 
Some of the causes of gold mining include:
-displacing communities 
- poisoning water
- threatening natural areas
- solid waste 
- abuse of human rights 
- impacts the worker rights and safety
- places a toll on indigenous people]]> 2017-03-02 07:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157241793 Reactivity: caitlin_taylor https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157926912 Due to gold having only one valence electron, Gold is extremely reactive. The goal for all elements is to have a full valence shell. So with Gold only having one valence electron it is always trying to mix with other elements from group 7 to get rid of its one valence electron. By doing this it is fulfilling its job.]]> 2017-03-06 06:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157926912 Who, When and Where was the it Found: caitlin_taylor https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157926944 On the 24th of January 1848 Gold was discovered for the first time ever by James W Marshall in California.]]> 2017-03-06 06:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157926944 Where on Earth is it found? caitlin_taylor https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157927066 Gold is found on every continent other than Antartica. Gold can also be found in water however it is extremely un-common for it to be dug up in water as it costs a lot. The Largest known Gold deposits have been found in South Afric and Johannesburg in India]]> 2017-03-06 06:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157927066 Reference List caitlin_taylor https://padlet.com/caitlin_taylor/x44y20u2vk5w/wish/157932767 https://www.hobart.k12.in.us/ksms/PeriodicTable/gold.htm
