They are found in the Earth's crust so mining gets them out. They are generally in the form of an 'ore', i.e. they are not the pure metal but in the form of of various compounds from which they have to be extracted.
We get metal from metal mines mostly. But it originally was lodged in the eaths crust.
But what kind of a loser asks this question?
Theres no need to be so rude. Even though your answer is PARTLY correct, you should still check out other websites. Just to make sure.
alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides and actinides and metals in mixed groups
I believe that the answer you are looking for is Transition Metals.
No compounds are metals. All metals are elements, although some metals (e.g. brass) are mixtures of metals.
Hydrogen react with metals and hydrides are formed.
Pure native metals are considered minerals. Mixed metals are considered alloys.
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
metals
Metals, non metals and metaloids (which have some of the properties of both metals and non metals).
They are in between the metals and non metals
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
You can see the Alkaline Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, Other Metals (poor conducting metals), metaloids (characteristics of metals and non-metals combined), non-metals, noble gases, and unknown metals (like #112-118)The transition metals at the bottom of the periodic table are lanthanides and actinides.3 main ones are usually: Alkaline metals, Transition metals, and Non-metals...I hope this was useful!-Fuyuki
The three main metals in a periodic table are transition metals, alkali metals, and alakaline earth metals.
