Is chlorine found in its elemental form in nature?
Chlorine is not found in the nature in his elemental form.
Is platinum found in nature?
Platinum is found in the nature in elemental form.
Is calcium usually found in a compound or a pure element?
Calcium is never found in its elemental form in nature.
An element least likely to be found in nature in elemental form?
uranium, caesium, potassium, beryllium, etc.
Why phosphorus is not found in nature?
Phosphorus us found in nature, but in the form of phosphate compounds rather than in pure elemental form. This is because phosphorus is highly reactive and will readily react with oxygen in the air.
Is chlorine found in its elemental form in nature?
Chlorine is not found in the nature in his elemental form.
What form is Sodium found in nature?
Sodium is found as a soft solid metal in nature. It is not commonly found by itself, it reacts with things so violently that it is usually found as a compound with other items. Most commonly found is sodium chloride which is just salt. NaCl
Are most elemets found in nature in the elemental or combined form?
combined form
Is platinum found in nature?
Platinum is found in the nature in elemental form.
Is calcium usually found in a compound or a pure element?
Calcium is never found in its elemental form in nature.
How is chlorine commonly found in nature?
Chlorine is not found in its elemental form as chlorine gas, being a halogen, is highly reactive. The most common compound of chlorine is sodium chloride or common salt. This can be found dissolved in sea water.
Why is sodium naturally found in form of compound?
Sodium is an extremely reactive element, meaning that it is unstable in its elemental form and stable in compounds. It will react spontaneously with oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and even nitrogen. As a result, it does not naturally occur in elemental form.
Can helium be found in its pure Elemental form in nature or is it so reactive that it is only found in compounds?
Helium has completely filled orbitals. hence it is chemically inert (non reactive) and is found in its pure elemental form.
In what form is copper found in nature?
Occasionally as elemental copper but more often as a sulfide or an oxide.
Can helium be found in elemental form?
Yes. helium is found only in elemental form
An element least likely to be found in nature in elemental form?
uranium, caesium, potassium, beryllium, etc.
Is salt natural or man made?
Sodium exists naturally in compounds, but not in its elemental form. It must be extracted by artificial means.
