Whether the elements found in the ground are reactive or not, partly depends on whether there is any other chemical there for them to react with.
Gold, Platinum, Tin, and a few others close to the noble metals are less reactive, but even some reactive elements are found (uncommonly) in the native state.
Silver is one of the more common ones so found, but Iron and Mercury are also found in the native state.

Are alkali metals considered to be very reactive or very unreactive?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
What type of elements are the metals rhodium platinum and palladium?
These metals are members of the family of platinum metals; they are very unreactive, scarce and expensive.
Why is gold called a noble metal?
Gold is a very unreactive metal and is found in its native state in the ground, platinum and silver also behave this way. Other metals that are not of this nature are found mixed in with rocks and these are called ores.
What reginon is very reactive metals found in the periodic table found in?
Group 1 or alkali metals
What is gold element or a compound?
Gold is Definitely and element. It is a very unreactive metal to the point that it is found 'native' in the ground. However, gold can be made to react to form gold oxides/nitrates/chlorides etc., but conditions are quite severe.
Are alkali metals considered to be very reactive or very unreactive?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
What is reactivity of properties of metals?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
Why are metals such as gold and silver found uncombined in the Earth's crust?
These metals are very unreactive and are "noble". This basically means that they would not react with any other elements found in the earth's crust.

Is sodium an unreactive element?
All the alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) are very reactive.
Do acids eat away metals?
Mostly yes apart from very unreactive metals like lead or gold. If M is the metal and HX is the Acid the equation looks like: 2M + 2HX = 2MX + H2
Why Au and Pt exist as free elements in nature?
1. Gold an platinum are very unreactive metals. 2. Minerals (compounds) containing gold are known.
What is shininess?
Gold is a very shiny metal as it is a unreactive metal. Silver, Stainless steel, copper, aluminium, brass and platinum are also shiny metals. x
What reginon is very reactive metals found in the periodic table found in?
Group 1 or alkali metals
What the physical characteristics of gold?
Gold is a soft, malleable metal. It is 'Golden' in colour and is reflective/metallic in lustre. It conducts electricity and heat very well, like all metals. It is VERY unreactive.
