Why is aluminum not found as a free element?

Answer 1

Aluminium is found not in a free state because it is so reactive that it reacts with oxygen.

Answer 2

Aluminum is highly reactive and easily forms compounds with other elements in nature. It is commonly found in minerals such as bauxite, where it is bonded with other elements like oxygen. It is rare to find pure aluminum in its free elemental form due to its reactivity.

Answer 3

Aluminium is a highly reactive metal. it is therefore unlikely to occur naturally because it reacts with other elements and substances in the Earth to form compounds.

Answer 4

Iron is found naturally in ores. Otherwise, specify metal.

Answer 5

Because it is so reactive and can easily react with oxygen.

Answer 6

Aluminum is not found alone in nature, it is found in compounds and must be disassociated and purified.

Answer 7

The alkaline earth metals are highly reactive so they are chemically bonded to other elements in nature.

Answer 8

because its highly reactive
