Answer:
Gold is a metal, more specifically a transition metal, whereas Oxygen is a nonmetal, more specifically a reactive nonmetal. Using this information, you can compare and contrast metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
Metals are:
Shiny
High melting point
Mostly silver or gray in color
Mostly solids at room temperature – Mercury (Hg) is a liquid at room temperature
Malleable – able to be hammered into a thin sheet
Ductile – able to be drawn/pulled into a wire
Good conductors of heat and electricity
Nonmetals are:
Dull
Low melting point
Brittle – break easily
Not malleable
Not ductile
Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Metalloids are:
Found on the “zig-zag” line on the Periodic Table of Elements
Have properties of both metals and nonmetals
Can be shiny or dull
Semiconductors – able to conduct electricity under certain conditions

Answer:
False
Explanation:
Atoms only achieve complete outer electron shells if they contain an outer shell with 7 electrons before gaining another electron or an outer shell with 1 electron before losing an electron. This is assuming that the octet-rule can be applied to said atom. In addition, the number of valence electrons varies from atom to atom which is why not ALL atoms achieve complete outer electron shells after gaining or losing just ONE electron.
