Highly unreactive elements that will not chemically combine include:
Platinum (Pt)
Gold (Au)
Helium (He)
Argon (Ar)
Krypton (Xe)
Neon (Ne)
The first two are unreactive because they are at the bottom of the metals reactivity series. The rest are unreactive because they are part of the inert gases.
Uncombined hydrogen can be found in the Earth's atmosphere, although it is rare. It is also found as molecular hydrogen gas (H2) in interstellar space and on the surfaces of gas-giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
Oh, dude, it's like this - metals like gold and silver are found uncombined in the Earth's crust because they are too cool to hang out with other elements. They prefer to be all fancy and shiny on their own, you know? Plus, they're like the popular kids at the periodic table party, so they get to do whatever they want.
The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.
Some elements that are commonly found in the free elemental state include hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and noble gases such as helium, neon, and argon. These elements exist as individual atoms or molecules in their natural form without being bonded to other elements.
Native elements are those found by themselves, in pure form, uncombined with other elements into minerals. Of all the elements, only about thirty native elements are known, including metals like copper, gold, lead, and iron; semi-metals like antimony, arsenic, bismuth, and tellurium, and non-metals like diamond, sulfur, and selenium. --------- carbon
Uncombined
They are very reactive.They cannot be found uncombined.
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.
No
Some metals are found uncombined in the Earth's crust because they have low reactivity and do not readily react with other elements to form compounds. These metals include gold, silver, and copper, which are typically found in their pure metallic form in nature.
group 1 elements
yes :)
true
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.
I am not genius....but i think that silver and gold are uncombined on earth because these both are transition elements.......:)but please!don't trust on me because.....i said na that i am not genius but it does not means that i am uneducated......i am very educated...... phir bhi check it out on Google for the fullfledge answer.........Allah Hafiz.:)
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.

Yes, copper can be found uncombined in its pure form in nature. This is known as native copper and is commonly found in regions where copper deposits have formed, such as in certain sedimentary rocks.
