A native metal is a metal that can be extracted from the ground by physical methods.
Gold is often found in lumps because it is low in the reactivity series - elements higher up in the reactivity series would already have reacted and 'blended' with the other elements in the ground. Hope this has helped! :)

What is a native metal?
A metal that is mined as the pure metal, and does not require refining, or reduction. NB Gold is found native, and 'nuggets'.
What is metal ores?
Metallic ores are rocks that contain metals.Sometimes it contains a metal compound, like Hematite, an ore of Iron, Fe2O3, for example. They can also contain metals that are found in their pure form, like copper (which can form compounds, but not usually when found in ore) and Gold (which does not form compounds). This is known as a 'native' metal.
What metal is found naturally as an element?
Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, mercury.

What does it mean to say a metal is found native in the earth's crust?
To say a metal is native means it is found either pure form or as an alloy.
What iron ores are found native?
Yes iron is a native metal
Is silver is a native metal what does this mean?
Gold and platinum occur in the Earth as native metal,which means that they are found as the element, not the compound,and so do not need to be reduced.Silver and copper may also be found as native metal. :) hope it helps
Why is gold often found as a metal in the ground?
Metals found native in the ground are metals which are so unreactive that they are still found unchanged or "native"
What does it mean when a metal is said to be in its native state?
the term native state refers to metals which are found chemically uncombined in nature
What is the lumps value of Ferro Titanium?
Ferro Titanium is a valuable metal that has many uses, including in jewelry and technology. Its lumps value is usually determined by the weight of the metal and its purity. Ferro Titanium Lumps with a higher lumps value will be more expensive than lower-lumped Ferro Titanium because it contains more elemental titanium. Contact Us: - +919899738234, 011 42466413
Is gold grown?
Gold is a transition metal element. It is occasional found as a native metal but it is generally mined in the form of ores, which are then refined to produce Gold metal, it isn't grown.
