Metals can be found impure, when they are extracted from the earth's crust, where they may be combined with other chemical elements, in which case they may need to be chemically separated to make it the best for use.

What are three types of categories found in the periodic table?
The three main categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.
What are two types of elements in the periodic table?
If you are referring to the periodic table, then metals and non-metals, though if that is the case I should remind you that metalloids are also a category. Though if you were asking more broadly about molecules, as this category would suggest, you're probably looking for organic and inorganic.
