What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?
The alkali metals
Which groups of metals are most reactive therefore never being found free in nature?
Group 1 and group 2 metals
Which group had elements on the periodic table that almost never react?
Noble gases or group 18 elements
Are alkali metals never found as elements?
No
What group are fossils never found in?
Fossils are never found in Igneous rocks
Which two groups of elements are never found uncombined in nature?
group 1 elements
What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?
The alkali metals
What two elements are never found as elements in nature because they combine so easily with other substances?
Sodium and lithium.
Why do metals at the top of the activity series never found in the nature as free elements?
because they are too reactive to exist on their own, they bond with other elements in nature to satisfy their need for electrons
Which groups of metals are most reactive therefore never being found free in nature?
Group 1 and group 2 metals
Which group of elements will never react with other elements and what is the name of that group?
Noble Gases
Which group had elements on the periodic table that almost never react?
Noble gases or group 18 elements
Why is group 1 element occur as salt in nature and never found in their element state?
They're too reactive. They will react with oxygen or moisture in the air, so they can't exist as pure elements unless protected. The usual method is to submerse them in oil.
Which of the following groups in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state?
group 1 and 2
Why was group sixteen of the periodic table of elements never named?
It does have a name. Group 16 elements are called "chalcogens".
Which group of metals is so reactive than its members are never found uncombined in nature?
For example platinum group of metals: Pt, Ir, Os, Pd, Rh, Ru.
What element is never found in its pure state of nature?
I suppose that the question refers to chemical elements and their natural state. Indeed, some elements cannot be found "alone" (i.e., not combined) in natural state. This applies to the most reactive elements, such as fluorine (gas), chlorine (gas), sodium (alkali metal), etc.
