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 metals occur in a free state 1. aluminium 2. gold 3. iron 4. lead?
aluminium
What changes occur when a chemical reaction?
Changing temperature, density and pressure occur when a chemical reaction.
Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?
Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
In what inorganic compound do most chemicals reactions occur?
The most chemical reactions occur in water solutions.
When a compound forms from element changes occur in the way that the atoms are?
Rearranged
Does aluminum naturally occur?
Aluminum is abundant in the earth's crust, however it does not occur by itself in nature. All of the aluminum in nature is found combined with another element or compound.
What metals occur in a free state 1. aluminium 2. gold 3. iron 4. lead?
aluminium
Is alluminium a mtalloid?
no Aluminium is the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminium metal is too reactive chemically to occur natively. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals.[4] The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite.
Where can aluminum be found?
In Earth's crust, aluminium (aluminum) is the third most common element, after oxygen and silicon, with an abundance of about 8% of Earth's crust. Therefore, it isn't exactly hard to find. In nature, aluminium usually doesn't occur in its pure form; rather, it is found in over 270 different minerals. The main ore used to extract aluminium is called bauxite, but aluminium occurs in many other minerals as well, for example in feldspars.
Does beryllium occur as an element or as a compound?
As a compound
What is the definition of hydrocarbons in relation to chemistry?
In relation to chemistry, hydrocarbons are defined as an organic compound where carbon and hydrogen is found. Hydrocarbons found on planet earth occur in crude oil.
