All metals are pure elements, however do not occur in nature necessarily as "pure." Pure being defined as the singular element without added compounds for its stability. For example, Fe2+ (iron) is commonly found in nature as FeO2 (iron oxide) because iron is oxidized in the presence of air (hence the oxygen).
There are a variety of elements that all need some kind of an ion (charged particle) as a supplement for the elements' stability, commonly Lithium, Sodium, Calcium and others are in complex with the "pure" element. Another common example is table salt (NaCl). Sodium metal (Na) is highly reactive with water and humidity and is also often complexed with some other element to maintain stability.

Are all elements pure?
No, they can contain impurities.
Are all elements metals?
No, not all metals are considered to be elements. Brass for example is a combination of elements but is not an element itself.
Is a metal an element?
Metals are a class of elements. A pure metal is an element. Some metals are alloys, which mean they have more than one metal or element in them. The metal bronze is made of two elements, the metal tin and the metal copper.
Which elements on the periodic table are pure?
Well technically, they're all pure in their pure form. haha, The question doesn't really make sence. You should look up what an element means. An element is just a category that an atom may fall into. The question of purity can't be asked about an element. You can ask "is this sample of matter of the element (blank) pure?" But not about the element itself
What are 5 metals that are pure elements?
Five metals found pure in nature are:copperGoldPlatinumSilver (rarely)Titanium (rarely)There are 93 elemental metals of which platinum, gold, silver, copper, nickel, chromium, iron, aluminum, lead, tungsten, zinc and tin are some of the more commonly known.
What metals are elements?
All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
What are all the pure metals?
elements
Are most elements metals or pure?
Any metal that is not an alloy of a metal with other elements (metals, metalloids, or nonmetals) is a pure element. All of the metals listed on the Periodic Table are pure elements.
Are alkali metals always found pure in nature?
Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.
Is an element a characteristic of metal?
All metals except alloys of metals are elements, but not all elements are metals.
Are alkali metals found as pure elements in sea water?
Alkali metals exist only as salts.
What are not metals?
All metals are elements.
What is the difference between ore and pure metal?
Metals that are pure are metals that contain no other materials. Some pure metals are silver, aluminum, gold, iron, lithium, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. A full list of metallic elements (pure metals) can be found at the Related Link.
Are all elements pure?
No, they can contain impurities.
What are All metals?
All metals are chemical elements.
Are all elements metals?
No, not all metals are considered to be elements. Brass for example is a combination of elements but is not an element itself.
Why are alkali metals rarely found as pure elements?
They are highly reactivated. they are reacting with other compounds.
