Typically metals form ionic bonds with non- metals. There are exceptions when the metal ion is small and highly charged when the bond may have more covalent character, (Fajans rules)
Metals also form covalent bonds with carbon in organometals such as grignard reagents. Transition metals form covalent bonds with many species, e.g. carbon monoxide in the carbonyls.
In alloys which are mixtures of metallic elements the bonding is the metallic bond.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call metals that are uncombined with other elements?
You would call them pure metals or simply elements, when a metal is mixed with another, usually for dual properties (e.g steel and aluminum alloy - in planes because it is light and strong) it is called an Alloy.
When metals react with other elements what happen to the valence electrons of the metals atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.

Is sodium found in nature by itself or is it always found bonded to other elements?
It is always found bonded with other elements, it goes through a process to become a single element.
When metals react to the other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the metal Atoms?

What are the classes of elements on the periodic table?
non-metals .... alkali metals....transition metals....alkali earth metals....rare earth metals....other metals....halogens....inert elements

What is meant by uncombined metals?
Uncombined metals refer to metals that exist in their pure elemental form, without being chemically bonded to any other elements. These metals are typically found in nature in solid mineral form and have distinct physical and chemical properties. Examples include gold, silver, and copper.
Why are pure metals not minerals?
Pure metals are not considered minerals because minerals are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure, whereas pure metals are elements that are not chemically bonded to other elements and do not have a crystal structure. Minerals can contain metal elements, but the presence of a metal element alone does not make a substance a mineral.
What two elements are commonly bonded to mke metals in ores?
The primary elements would be oxygen and sulfur, forming iron oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium sulfide, etc. Metals also bind with molecules such as silicates (SiO3), sulfates (SO4), or other metal-oxygen compounds, like chromate (Cr2O7).
Are coins an example of compound?
Most coins are made of pure elements, like copper. A compound is a combination of elements which are chemically bonded together, so they have completely different properties. While coins can contain different metals, they are usually not bonded in this way.
