I take it that you mean native elements. Some meteoric iron occurs - perhaps the remnant of the interior of an exploded planet.

Gold often exists as a native element, because it has a low combination propensity, and is essentially uncorrodible.

Similar metals such as copper, silver, Mercury, tin and platinum are not uncommon.

Then there are the non-metals, of which carbon and sulfur are the common ones.

And to which must be added the gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and the noble gases such as neon, argon etc.

As to the why, the simple answer is that they either do not easily combine with other elements (gold, neon); or locally in surplus to anything with which they could combine (sulfur, carbon, mercury).

Why are the 57 through 70 and 89 through 102 found separately the bottom of the table?

The values 57 through 70 and 89 through 102 are often found separately at the bottom of a table because they correspond to additional data that may not fit in the main body of the table. Placing them separately at the bottom helps keep the table organized and allows for easier referencing of this additional information.
