Gold is found uncombined - it is a mineral in itself.
Copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au) ....Osmium (Os) is also found in nature as an uncombined element sometimes. Rhodium (Rh) can occur as a rare deposit in uncombined form, for example in Montana, USA.Platinum (Pt) nuggets also occur naturally in the uncombined state.Tellurium (Te) is sometimes found in its native (elemental) form.Chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) have also been found in uncombined form, but this is extremely rare. For more information see Related links below this box.
There are no "common" compounds that contain significant quantities of gold. Gold is found in trace amounts in many things (seawater, for example). Gold is actually more commonly found uncombined, since it's fairly unreactive.
Occurring in the Earth's crust, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere in chemically uncombined form.
They are dangerous because in their uncombined forms they are highly reactive. Hope this helped ^,..,^

The noble gases, gold and platinum.
Iron , Aluminium and Copper Can Be Found , Also Gold Can Be Found Uncombined in the Earths Crust .
is hydrogen uncombined in nature
Uncombined hydrogen is found in atmosphere in small concentration.

They are very reactive.They cannot be found uncombined.
Occurring in the Earth's crust, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere in chemically uncombined form.
Sodium is very reactive and this is the cause for which there doesn't exist uncombined in nature.
Less reactive elements are more likely to be found uncombined, that is as the element rather than as part of a compound. This is usually called being 'found native'. For instance gold mines contain actual pieces of gold, whereas an iron mine usually contains something like rust, which has to be converted by a chemical reaction to obtain the metal.
