Most exist in some form of oxide in the ore that carries it. Gold and Silver can exist in a pure form and be pulled right out of the ground and used, but can also be combined with other items and need to be refined.

Which metals are not very reactive and occur in a free state in nature?
GoldPlatinum
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 is calcium similar to strontium and magnesium?
because they are all alkaline earth metals and occur naturally in nature.
Do alkali earth metals occur freely in nature?
No- they are too reactive and thus always found in componds and mixtures
Why is that some metals occur in nature as free elements while others occur in combine forms?
Depends on how easy it is to oxidize the metal, outside of gold and meteoric iron, almost all metals are found in an oxidized state.

What different alloy and metal?
metals are existing in nature and these are formed by minerals over a period of time while alloys are combination of different metals.
Can be hammered into different shape?
yes, as metals are malleable and ductile in nature
Almost all metals occur naturally in the state but they vary in?
The majority of metals doesn't exist in elementary form in the nature; many differences exist between metals properties, chemical or physical.
Are alkaline metals occur freely in nature?
Not possible, they are so reactive that they will combine instantly with nearly anything they contact.
Do alkali earth metals occur freely in nature?
No- they are too reactive and thus always found in componds and mixtures
What is the meaning of nature in nature of metals?
the properties or description of metals. that's it!
Metal is quite reactive and is never free in nature?
Yes, it's true for almost all metals. But some metals like Copper, Mercury, Silver,Gold and Platinum are very less reactive and sometimes occur in free state in nature.
How do garnets occur?
Garnet is a type of mineral that is found in nature. It is often mined from underground caves, like other minerals and metals.
