No.
Gold is a very nonreactive metal.It is at the bottom of the reactivity chart of metals, and is currently known as the lease reactive metal of all. It does not form many bonds and will commonly be displaced by other more reactive metals, such as calcium. As such, it is easy for us to find gold in its purest form.
Gold rarely bonds, but can bond with halogens
Gold, neon, and oxygen atoms are less likely to form bonds with other atoms due to their stable electronic configurations. Gold is a noble metal with a full valence shell, making it chemically inert, while neon is a noble gas that is also stable and rarely reacts. Oxygen can form bonds, particularly with metals and nonmetals, but does not bond with itself unless forming O2. Magnesium and chlorine, however, readily form ionic bonds with each other, making them more reactive than the other mentioned elements.
Gold has metallic bonds.The electrons of the gold atoms are delocalised to form a sea of electrons. The gold atoms are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the negatively charged sea of electrons and the positively charged ions (the nucleus + the electrons that are not delocalised). Gold has high melting and boiling points because a lot of energy is required to overcome this strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.
Gold would lose electrons to form an ionic bond. As a metal, gold has a tendency to donate electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion (cation). This electron loss allows gold to bond with nonmetals, which typically gain electrons to form negatively charged ions (anions). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
A metallic bond is most likely to form between two gold atoms due to the nature of gold being a metal. Metallic bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between metal atoms, allowing for the free movement of electrons and high electrical conductivity.
Shi* ummmm.......metallic
No, magnesium and chlorine are most likely to form an ionic bond rather than a metallic bond. In an ionic bond, magnesium will donate electrons to chlorine, resulting in the formation of magnesium chloride, a compound with a bond between a metal and a nonmetal.
Gold rarely bonds, but can bond with halogens
Copper and gold can form a metallic bond due to their metallic properties. In a metallic bond, electrons are shared and mobile among all the metal atoms, creating a sea of delocalized electrons that hold the atoms together.
A metallic bond will form between a gold Au atom and a lithium Li atom. In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and move freely between the atoms, creating a bond characterized by strong attractive forces. This type of bonding is common in metals like gold and lithium.
When gold and platinum bond, it forms a metallic bond. This bond is characterized by the atoms in the metals sharing their electrons in a sea of free-flowing electrons, resulting in strong cohesion between the metal atoms.

No, gold and oxygen cannot form an ionic bond. Gold is a transition metal and tends to form metallic bonds, while oxygen is a nonmetal that typically forms covalent bonds.
In an alloy of silver and gold, the atoms do not typically share electrons like in a covalent bond. Instead, the metals form a solid solution where the atoms of silver and gold are mixed together in the same lattice structure, but the electrons are more free to move around.
Gold and platinum are both transition metals, which typically form metallic bonds due to their electron configuration. Metallic bonding involves the sharing of delocalized electrons among a lattice of metal atoms. Therefore, gold and platinum are more likely to form metallic bonds rather than ionic or covalent bonds.
