Gold is already an element, you cannot make an element out of other elements. Just like you can't make red, blue or yellow, but you can make purple, green, orange, etc.

Gold (Au) is an element. Nothing makes up an element. Here is a link to periodic table. Study it well unless your dream job is to sweep floors.

Gold is a 'Native Element'. That simply means that it can exist on its own w/o bonding to other elements.
The reason for this is that gold is chemically inert. It does not bond w/ many other elements naturally.
Platinum, copper, & silver are also native elements.
