Almost all inorganic compounds contain metals, depending upon the type of bonding. These are mainly of 2 types: salts and complexes. Mostly alkali and alkaline earth metals form salts while transition metals form complexes.

What is one property of alkaline metals?
All of the alkaline earth metals are naturally occurring and they share similar properties: they are all rather reactive metals under standard conditions.
Most of the naturally occurring elements are?
Most of the naturally occurring elements are transition metals.
What type of chemical reaction is used to extract metals from their naturallly occurring compounds like oxides or chlorides?
For example reduction with hydrogen and carbon from oxides, reduction with other metals from chlorides, etc.
What properties best describe non-metals?
low density poor conductor of electricity most form compounds
What is the difference in metals and ionic compounds when force is applied?
ionic compounds have a high melting point compared to metals and ionic compounds do not conduct electricity as metals
What naturally occurring elements or compounds found in rocks soil water are called?
The term is "minerals." Few elements are found in their pure elemental form, and they are mostly metals.
What naturally occurring element has the highest melting point of all metals?
Tungsten.
What meatal is found as itself in the earths crust?
There are a number of naturally occurring pure metals including copper, silver, mercury, gold, platinum and palladium. Naturally occurring pure metals are called native metals eg Native Copper or Native Silver
Most of the 92 naturally occurring elements are metal non metal metalloids or none of the above?
Most of the 92 naturally occurring elements can be classified as either metals or non-metals. Metalloids, also known as semi-metals, are a smaller group of elements that have properties of both metals and non-metals.
What is 3 quarters of the 90 naturally occurring elements?
3 quarters of the 90 naturally occurring elements are called metals.
Is silver man made or naturally occurring?
Naturally occurring (it is an element), the metal occurs naturally in its pure, free form (native silver), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite.
A naturally occurring substance in the solid inorganic crystalline state containing oxygen silicon and metals?
silicate
Are magnets metals?
Some are metal some aren't. Ceramic magnets are common. Magnetite is one naturally occurring rock that is a magnet. Most magnets are either metallic alloys or nonmetallic compounds of the elements Iron, Nickel, or Cobalt.
What is one property of alkaline metals?

A naturally occurring substance in the solid inorganic crystalline state containing oxygen silicon and metals is known as a?
silicate
A naturally occurring substance in the solid inorganic crystaline state containing oxygen silicon and metals is known as a?
Silicate.
Who invented first metal?
No one invented metal. Metals are naturally occurring elements in the earths crust (and core)
