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.
Why is that some metals occur in nature as free elements while others occur in combine forms?
Depends on how easy it is to oxidize the metal, outside of gold and meteoric iron, almost all metals are found in an oxidized state.
Why is the electrical conductance of electrolytes less than that of metals?
in metals free electrons are responsible while in electrolysis free ions are moved and generally move with slow speed
What two non metals that occur in free state?
carbon and sulphur
Which metals are not very reactive and occur in a free state in nature?
GoldPlatinum
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
What 3 metals are found in nature in free state?
iron,silver,and gold
What are four metals found in free state?
gold, silver, copper, platinum and some other platinum metals

How is silver found?
Silver is found as free metal, or in minerals of other metals.
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
Why is the electrical conductance of electrolytes less than that of metals?
in metals free electrons are responsible while in electrolysis free ions are moved and generally move with slow speed
Which metals are not very reactive and occur in a free state in nature?
GoldPlatinum
What two non metals that occur in free state?
carbon and sulphur
Why is conduction faster in metals?
Metals are generally good conductors because they have many free electrons that are able to efficiently transfer thermal energy.
Why alkaline metals not exist naturally in free state?
Akaline metal do not exist in free state due to high level of ionization energy in them.
