Any alloy is not a pure element. Common alloys include brass, bronze, steel, the "nickel" used in nickels (which is actually mostly copper), sterling silver, and "gold" less than 24 karat. Really it's easier to figure out which ones ARE pure elements: if it's listed on the Periodic Table, then it's a pure element, otherwise it isn't.

∙ 10y agoThese elements are called transuranic elements, or all elements with an atomic number greater than 92. They are called this because they are all the elements greater than uranium, which is 92. This only accounts for 26 though because two more elements 43 and 61 are actually before uranium but still do not occur naturally.

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.
Is tungsten a pure substance or mixture?
Tungsten, like many other metals is found in ore. Often time in both an oxidized and in elemental form
Is 18 carat gold an element?
No. Gold is an element, but PURE gold is 24 Karat. 18 karat gold is a mixture of gold and other metals- it is not pure gold.
What type of element or compound is gold?
pure gold is a element and is a metal. But it is too soft and thus it is often alloyed with other metals
Is an metal acidic or alkaline?
Pure metals are neither, no pure element is and acid or an alkali, it is only compounds made from elements that have this property. When metals form compounds those compounds are typically alkaline.
Why are pure metals not minerals?
If by pure, we are referring to native metals composed of one element, like silver, gold, and copper, then they are minerals.
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.
Which element is formed from a metal and a nonmetal?
An element is a pure substance containing only one type of atoms so it can not be prepared by the combination of two metals or non metals.
Why are metals not minerals?
If by pure, we are referring to native metals composed of one element, like silver, gold, and copper, then they are minerals.
What kinds of metals are found in grafite?
Graphite is composed of pure carbon, a non-metallic element. So there are no metals in graphite
Is tungsten a pure substance or mixture?
Tungsten, like many other metals is found in ore. Often time in both an oxidized and in elemental form
Is 18 carat gold an element?
No. Gold is an element, but PURE gold is 24 Karat. 18 karat gold is a mixture of gold and other metals- it is not pure gold.
Can metals be mixtures of different elements?
they sure can. if it is not on the periodic table, that means it is not a pure element, so any metals you are wondering about can be looked up on the periodic table to see if they are pure.
What type of element or compound is gold?
pure gold is a element and is a metal. But it is too soft and thus it is often alloyed with other metals
Is an metal acidic or alkaline?
Pure metals are neither, no pure element is and acid or an alkali, it is only compounds made from elements that have this property. When metals form compounds those compounds are typically alkaline.
Is metal a 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.
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.
