Which outcome occurs when core electrons undergo relativistic effects in gold?

💡 Explanation

When relativistic effects cause the 1s orbital to contract gold, *interband transitions* shift into the visible, causing absorption of blue light and scattering of yellow photons from the surface. Therefore, gold is yellow, rather than colorless like silver, because of relativistic contraction of orbitals.
