Gold is much less reactive than iron. Over time iron reacts with our oxygen-rich atmosphere, especially if moisture is present. So the form in which iron is found in nature is chemically similar to rust.
Gold on the other hand is a noble metal, it hardly reacts with anything. Even most strong acids will not corrode it.

Why does Aluminium occur in a form of a compound whereas gold is found in free state?
This is because metals like gold lie at the bottom in the activity series so they are less reactive and are found in the free state, whereas, metals like aluminium, zinc, etc. are found on the top of the activity series so they are highly reactive and are found in the form of compounds.
Element never found in its free state?
Sulphur
What percent is neon found in its free state?
0.13% in the Universe
Why is gold one of the few metals found as an element in earths crust?
Because gold is noble, what means that if it forms a compound, which is very unlikely, that compound spontaneously breaks into free gold
Does copper occur in free state?
Yes. copper is one of the elements that may, with luck, be found in the native state.
Which metals occurs in a free state?
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
Is the gold is found in free state?
Gold is found ONLY in free state, since it is noble, does not tend to link. Moreover, its compounds, if were present in nature, would decompose under heat, light - to free gold
Which elements found in free elemental state?
Ag(silver), Au(gold), Pt(platinum), Cu(copper) are found in free state
What 3 metals are found in nature in free state?
iron,silver,and gold
Why is all compounds molecules?
All elements and compounds are present in molecular state. They cannot be found as individual atoms. Atoms cannot exist in free state.
Is all molecules compound?
All elements and compounds are present in molecular state. They cannot be found as individual atoms. Atoms cannot exist in free state.
Is all the atoms cannot exist in free state?
Atoms cannot exist in a free state on their own, but can exist in a free state as molecules.
Why does Aluminium occur in a form of a compound whereas gold is found in free state?
This is because metals like gold lie at the bottom in the activity series so they are less reactive and are found in the free state, whereas, metals like aluminium, zinc, etc. are found on the top of the activity series so they are highly reactive and are found in the form of compounds.
What are four metals found in free state?
gold, silver, copper, platinum and some other platinum metals
Can you get a free gold acc on dizzywood?
No you cannot unless you hack
Why are alkali metal such as sodium not found in nature?
Sodium (Na) is a highly reactive element so it cannot be found in free state but we can have it in compound form like NaCl.
Is sodium is found in nature in free state?
Sodium, being a reactive element In group 1, cannot be found as element in nature. One of its common compounds is rock salt.
