Only a few metals are found in the free state, generally metals react to form for example oxides, sulfides which then may further react. Some found free are gold silver copper and platinum. All of these are relatively unreactive

In most metals and alloys diffusion occurs by?
Solid state diffusion (between metals) and gaseous diffusion (a gas in a metal).
How does gold occur in nature?
Gold is one of the few metals that occurs in its pure state in nature. Gold pieces found are called nuggets.
Is metallic bonding between metals or non metals?
between metals
Do metals have electric conductivity?
Type your answer here... due to free electrons metals are good conductor
Are Non-metals are very likely to form ionic bonds with other non-metals?
Yes, it is very likely that non metals will form an ionic bond with other non metals. This occurs through chemical bonds that are created by electrostatic attraction.
In most metals and alloys diffusion occurs by?
Solid state diffusion (between metals) and gaseous diffusion (a gas in a metal).
What are metals that are liquid in state?
The only non-metal that occurs in a liquid state at room temperatures is bromine (Br).
What are non-metals that are in a liquid state?
The only non-metal that occurs in a liquid state at room temperatures is bromine (Br).
What two non metals that occur in free state?
carbon and sulphur
Which metals are not very reactive and occur in a free state in nature?
GoldPlatinum
What are four metals found in free state?
gold, silver, copper, platinum and some other platinum metals
What occurs during the free banking era?
currency varied widely from state to state.
Why alkaline metals not exist naturally in free state?
Akaline metal do not exist in free state due to high level of ionization energy in them.
What 3 metals are found in nature in free state?
iron,silver,and gold
What kind of bond occurs between metals and metals?
This is called a metallic bond.
How does the hardness of the alkaline earth metals compared to the hardness of alkali metals?
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
How does gold occur naturally?
Gold is one of the few metals that occurs in its pure state in nature. Gold pieces found are called nuggets.
