Do most metals occur in pure form?
No
What is the difference in composition between most minerals and a pure element?

How does the composition of most minerals differ from a pure element?
Minerals are typically composed of a combination of elements, rather than being pure elements. These elements are bonded together in specific arrangements to form the mineral's crystalline structure. This composition gives minerals their distinct physical and chemical properties.
Can phosphorus be found in pure form?
Phosphorus is a highly reactive element and is not typically found in its pure form in nature. It is usually found in combination with other elements in minerals or compounds. However, white phosphorus is a form of elemental phosphorus that can exist in pure form.
What class of minerals do gold silver and copper belong too?
Gold, silver, and copper belong to the class of minerals known as native elements. These minerals occur in nature in their pure form and are not chemically bound to other elements.
Does vanadium occur naturally in it's pure form?
No, it does not exist naturally in its pure form. Itexists in the combined form.
What is the specific gravity luster transparency streak cleavage and fracture of barium?
These are all properties of minerals, and barium is an element which does not occur in a pure (native) form in the earth. Different minerals with barium as a constituent have various different properties.
Agree or disagree most minerals are found in nature as pure crystals?
Disagree. Most minerals are found in nature as complex mixtures of various elements, rather than as pure crystals. Pure crystals are relatively rare and often require highly specific conditions to form. Many minerals are formed through a combination of different elements and can have impurities or be present in different forms.
How does the composition of most minerals differ from the pure element?
Minerals (other than elemental minerals) are combinations of elements.
Is rubidium a pure element of nature?
Yes, rubidium is a pure element found in nature. It is an alkali metal and is the 16th most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Rubidium is most commonly obtained as a byproduct of lithium production or extracted from certain minerals.
Does pure substances have a fixed composition?
No. The nobel gases and the rare earth metals (gold, platinum) occur as pure substances in nature because they are relatively unreactive. Most materials do not occur as pure substances (typically oxidized) and must be treated to be made pure.
Is calcium found in its pure state?
Calcium is rarely found in its pure form in nature because it readily reacts with other elements to form compounds. It is most commonly found in the form of calcium carbonate in minerals such as limestone and marble.
