Elements do not change when moving in between the 3 physical states. A physical transition cannot change what the element is, only what state it exists in. A chemical change is where two elements combine together to form a different product than you started with. The only way to change what an element is, is to add or subtract protons.

Almost all metals occur naturally in the state but they vary in?

physical and chemical properties. Some metals are found in pure elemental form, while others are typically found in ores that require processing to extract the metal. The abundance and distribution of metals in the Earth's crust also vary.


What name is give to metals that can be found uncombined in the Earth?

Metals that can be found uncombined in the Earth are referred to as "native metals." These metals, such as gold, silver, and copper, exist in their elemental form rather than as compounds. Native metals typically occur in their pure state due to their resistance to oxidation and corrosion, allowing them to remain uncombined with other elements in nature.

Are elements found frequently in their pure state yes or no?

No, elements are not frequently found in their pure state. Most elements exist in nature combined with other elements in compounds or as part of minerals. Only a few, such as noble gases and certain metals like gold and platinum, can be found in their pure elemental form.
