Why is it unlikely to find pure alkali metals in a nature?
They are very reactive
Why do you rarely find metals in a pure state?
Metals are highly reactive and are most commonly found in an oxidized state.
Why are alkali metals not in pure form?
They are highly reactive metals, reacting with water (explosively) and air. In nature they simply would not last very long at all! i don't know. but i am in chemestry and i need to know. what i know so far is, that the are found in common substances. if you are a chemestry teacher you should know! :) plese get back to me by december 13th. i have a short exam then. but i also know that They are unstable in air and in water (moisture).
Why are alkali metals rarely found as pure elements?
They are highly reactivated. they are reacting with other compounds.
Are alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always found combined in nature?
They react easily. They combine with other elements to complete/fill their outer shell.
Why are metals like aluminum never found in the Earth as pure metals?
Aluminium is a reactive metal and in nature only the most unreactive metals (such as gold) are found in thir pure form.

Why are you more likely to use compounds of the alkali metals and halogens rather than the elements themselves?
These elements in pure form are extremely reactive. It is hard to create and maintain the pure environment necessary to maintain their purity.
Is carbon more reactive than phosphorus?
NO, not in their pure form. Phosphorus is much more reactive.

They react easily. They combine with other elements to complete/fill their outer shell.
Do most metals occur in pure form?
No
Which native metals are found in a pure form?
Gold
Can helium be found in its pure Elemental form in nature or is it so reactive that it is only found in compounds?
Helium has completely filled orbitals. hence it is chemically inert (non reactive) and is found in its pure elemental form.
Fairly reactive metals found as ores?
no because if the metals were reactive then they would react with elements in the air non reactive metals are found in there native state like gold and silver.
