What do you call metals that are uncombined with other elements?
You would call them pure metals or simply elements, when a metal is mixed with another, usually for dual properties (e.g steel and aluminum alloy - in planes because it is light and strong) it is called an Alloy.
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.
Name two metals that are found uncombined in the earth?
Copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au) ....Osmium (Os) is also found in nature as an uncombined element sometimes. Rhodium (Rh) can occur as a rare deposit in uncombined form, for example in Montana, USA.Platinum (Pt) nuggets also occur naturally in the uncombined state.Tellurium (Te) is sometimes found in its native (elemental) form.Chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) have also been found in uncombined form, but this is extremely rare.

Why are the halogen elements so dangerous in their uncombined forms?
They are dangerous because in their uncombined forms they are highly reactive. Hope this helped ^,..,^

Why are alkali metals not the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?
There are nothing uncombined. They are forming compounds inn nature.
Why are neither the metals nor the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?
Because these metals are very reactive and readily form compounds.

Was gold found thousands of years ago because it exists naturally as pieces of uncombined metals?
Yes, gold was found thousands of years ago because it is often found in nature in its pure form as nuggets or grains, rather than combined with other elements. This made it easily visible and recognizable to ancient peoples as a valuable and desirable material.
