Can neon be found in its pure Elemental form in nature or is it so reactive that it is only found in compounds?

Yes it can be found in nature in trace amounts in the atmosphere. This is because it is SO UNREACTIVE, it cant possibly be found in compounds.

Can helium be found in its pure Elemental form in nature or is it so reactive that it is only found in compounds?
Helium has completely filled orbitals. hence it is chemically inert (non reactive) and is found in its pure elemental form.
Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?
Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
Why most elements not found in the free state in nature?
Most elements are sufficiently reactive so it can not exist in elemental form.
Are alkali metals readily available in nature?
The alkali metals are all very recative and are not found free in nature (pure elemental form) but are always found as compounds. (minerals)
Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in?
Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in their metallic state - only in compounds. As an example sodium metal is never found in nature only as compounds like salt etc.

Why phosphorus is not found in nature?
Phosphorus us found in nature, but in the form of phosphate compounds rather than in pure elemental form. This is because phosphorus is highly reactive and will readily react with oxygen in the air.
Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?
Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
Are group 1 or group 2 metals ever found in their elemental state?
All the chemical elements from group I and II are very reactive; it is impossible to found these elements in nature in elemental state.
Why most elements not found in the free state in nature?
Most elements are sufficiently reactive so it can not exist in elemental form.
Is Titanium found usually in pure or compound elemental form?
In nature, titanium is always found as a compound, not as a pure metal. Titanium is highly reactive (although less reactive alloys can be made from it).
Is chlorine found in its elemental form in nature?
Chlorine is not found in the nature in his elemental form.

What important characteristic do the alkali metals ad alkaline earth metals have in common?
They both are highly reactive and are not found in nature in elemental state.
Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in?
Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in their metallic state - only in compounds. As an example sodium metal is never found in nature only as compounds like salt etc.
Is chlorine naturally occurring?
Under standard temperature and pressure, elemental fluorine is a yellowish gas. However, fluorine is exceedingly reactive, and thus in nature it is always found bound to other elements, commonly in salts as the fluoride ion (F-).
What kind of ions do alkali metals form?
Alkali is a base that dissolves in water. It is highly reactive, but never found in elemental forms of nature.
