Elemental, as in "elemental copper" as opposed to copper ore. It's POSSIBLE that the word you're looking for might be "noble" though some metals that are not noble metals can occasionally be found in elemental form: iron meteorites, for example.

What form does the element Bromine occur in nature?
Probably in ionic compounds where they act as anions. I don't think OBr2 will exist everywhere at all.
Do magnetic minerals occur naturally?
Yes
What is the location and extent of reserves for silicon?
Silicon is the eighth most abundant element (by weight) in the universe, and the second most abundant element in the earth's crust. It does not occur in its pure form but around 90% of the earth's crust is made up of compounds of silicon (silicates).
Is hydrogen bonding organic?
No, while some organic compounds can form hydrogen bonds, these bonds are not inherently organic. Hydrogen bonds occur where hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative element such as oxygen or nitrogen. Organic compounds must contain carbon, which is not related to hydrogen bonding.
How do common elements usually occur?
Minerals are thrown together
What are some compounds of minerals that occur as elements instead of compounds?
Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
What are some examples of minerals occur as elements instead of compounds?
Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
What are some examples of minerals that are elements instead of compounds?
Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
What are some examples of minerals that occurred as elements instead of compounds?
Copper, Silver, and Gold occur as elements instead of compounds.
What are some examples of minerals the occur as elements instead of compounds?
Copper, silver, and gold.
Which element occur in compounds that are insoluble in water?
Many organic compounds are insoluble in water. They have carbon and hydrogen as elements.
Can minerals be elements or compound?
They can be either. Gold and carbon are both elements that occur as minerals in element form. Carbon in fact takes two mineral forms: graphite and diamond. Most minerals are compounds. Some of the simpler ones include silicon dioxide (quartz), aluminum oxide (corundum), and sodium chloride (halite).
Is the element sulfur a solid or a liquid or a gas in the human body?
Sulfur does not occur in elemental form in the human body. Instead, sulfur is present in various compounds, which are primarily in solid or dissolved state.
Is germanium formed naturally?
Germanium is a naturally occurring element, but does not occur in pure form on the Earth (only in compounds).
What form does the element Bromine occur in nature?
Probably in ionic compounds where they act as anions. I don't think OBr2 will exist everywhere at all.
Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?
Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
Why are native minerals so rare?
Rare minerals are those that occur only in select locations or in limited quantity in comparison to other minerals.
