How come copper conducts so much better than gold and they want to use gold in electronic parts?

Durability – copper corrodes and gold does not. With very tiny circuits, a tiny bit of corrosion will break the circuit.

gold actually conducts better. hi end electronics like say…..the nasa space shuttle use gold solder for the components.

looking up conductivity of metals they say Copper conducts far better than gold, how can we do our own tests on this because, it’s time for the truth.

@ouivalerie
I work in the industry, and it’s true. But initially gold was used because it does not oxidize, where as copper does – and quickly. A spot of copper touching a silicon chip in the wrong place renders it useless. But now the process has matured and copper has replaced gold in most of the process. But there still is gold used because some parts of the IC are vulnerable to oxidation damage.
