Its chemical activity is so high that it readily combines with oxygen, forming the oxide. This in turn is highly active, so the presence of water leads to formation of the hydroxide. Even its hydroxide is extremely active, so the common compounds are more complex, such as carbonates.

Where is uncombined hydrogen found?
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.
Is NaCI a element or compound?
i assume you are saying NaCl. It is a compound since it has two elements in it namely sodium and chlorine. An element however is an uncombined substance like only sodium
What form is Sodium found in nature?
Sodium is found as a soft solid metal in nature. It is not commonly found by itself, it reacts with things so violently that it is usually found as a compound with other items. Most commonly found is sodium chloride which is just salt. NaCl
Is sodium naturally found?
Since sodium is quite reactive it is always found in chemical combination with one or more other elements, most commonly chlorine. This is sodium chloride, the principal ingredient in common table salt.
Is sodium nitrate solid or aqueous?
Sodium nitrate is a solid and is soluble in water
Can sodium be found uncombined in nature?
Sodium is very reactive and this is the cause for which there doesn't exist uncombined in nature.
Are earth metals ever found uncombined in nature?
They are very reactive.They cannot be found uncombined.
What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?
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.
Is gold usually found combined or uncombined in the earth's crust?

Is it true that alkali metals are generally found in their uncombined form?
No.
Can copper be found uncombined with other elements?
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.
Is it true that alkali metals are never found as uncombined elements?
true
