Is sodium a nonmetal or a metal?
Sodium is a metal.
What are metal oars?
Metal ores are metallic elements found in compounds with other elements in nature. These ores are then separated to produce pure metals.
Why is gold found as gold metal but aluminium is found as aluminium oxide?
Gold is a very unreactive element, so it occurs as gold metal in nature. However, aluminum is more reactive, and so it occurs in aluminum ore (aluminum oxide) in nature, not as aluminum metal.
This metal is most reative metal in it's period and cannot be found uncombined in nature each atom of the element contains 19 protons?
Potassium
Where is beryllium found in nature?
Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal and is not found alone in nature. It is typically found in combination with with other elements in minerals such as beryl and chrysoberyl. For more information, please see the Related Link below.
Which term describes a metal found in an uncombined form?
The metal would be known as an elemental. Metal is most commonly found in nature as an ore, a mixture of the metal and other elements. Most metals are not found in their elemental form, copper being one of the exceptions.
Which metal would most likely be found combined?
the majority of metals are found combined with other elements in nature. Only a few are found uncombined- the best known example is gold.
What natural substance attracts metal?
a magnet Actually named magnetite, but it is a natural magnet.
Is Mercury gravity?

How does metal and its ore relate to corrosion?
An ore has tremendous energy put in it to extract it and convert it to metal. Nature abhors energy and always tries to minimize energy. The metal will thus always have the tendency to corrode to get back to the way it is found in nature -its ore.
