Why most elements not found in the free state in nature?
Most elements are sufficiently reactive so it can not exist in elemental form.
Argon found free in nature or combined with something?
free since it is a noble gas
Which metals are not very reactive and occur in a free state in nature?
GoldPlatinum
Which of these is not an ore copper carbon silver iron?
copper, silver and carbon are not real ores but could be found as pure elements: carbon as coal, or diamond. Silver as nuggets. Copper as native copper specimen. Iron is almost never found in the free elemental state, and should be extracted from iron ore, which is not iron, but mainly made of iron oxides.
Are alkali metals readily available in nature?
The alkali metals are all very recative and are not found free in nature (pure elemental form) but are always found as compounds. (minerals)
What 3 metals are found in nature in free state?
iron,silver,and gold
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
Which elements found in free elemental state?
Ag(silver), Au(gold), Pt(platinum), Cu(copper) are found in free state
Why is metallic sodium not found in nature?
Sodium is highly reactive and never exists in free state. It is always found in the combined state.
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
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.
How is silver found?
Silver is found as free metal, or in minerals of other metals.
What are four metals found in free state?
gold, silver, copper, platinum and some other platinum metals
Where boron was found in?
it was found in 1808 and it is not found free in nature
Why most elements not found in the free state in nature?
Most elements are sufficiently reactive so it can not exist in elemental form.
Why are most element not found in free state in nature?
most elements have partly filled orbitals (or shells) and they try to gain, lose or share electrons so as to satisfy octet rule. Hence they are reactive and not generally found in free state
Metal is quite reactive and is never free in nature?
Yes, it's true for almost all metals. But some metals like Copper, Mercury, Silver,Gold and Platinum are very less reactive and sometimes occur in free state in nature.
