How can you tell from an element's number of valence elns whether the element is more likely to form a caor an anion?

If an element has less than four valence electrons, it will tend to lose its valence electrons and form cations. If an element has more than four valence electrons, it will tend to gain electrons and form anions. An element that has four valence electrons will tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.

Why can panning be used to obtain the element gold but cannot be used to obtain the element iron?

One reason is that gold is considerably denser than iron and therefore sinks more consistently to the bottom of a shaken pan. Another reason is that iron rarely occurs in nature in elemental form, while gold relatively often does occur naturally in elemental form.
