What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?

Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are so reactive that they are never found as uncombined elements in nature. They readily react with other elements to form compounds.


Why are neither the alkali metals or the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?

Alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are highly reactive and easily form compounds with elements in the environment. Consequently, they are not found in their pure form in nature. Instead, they are typically found as compounds with other elements such as oxygen or sulfur.
