All metals are pure elements, however do not occur in nature necessarily as "pure." Pure being defined as the singular element without added compounds for its stability. For example, Fe2+ (iron) is commonly found in nature as FeO2 (iron oxide) because iron is oxidized in the presence of air (hence the oxygen).
There are a variety of elements that all need some kind of an ion (charged particle) as a supplement for the elements' stability, commonly Lithium, Sodium, Calcium and others are in complex with the "pure" element. Another common example is table salt (NaCl). Sodium metal (Na) is highly reactive with water and humidity and is also often complexed with some other element to maintain stability.
What else can I help you with?
Are all elements pure?
No, they can contain impurities.
Which elements on the periodic table are pure?
Well technically, they're all pure in their pure form. haha, The question doesn't really make sence. You should look up what an element means. An element is just a category that an atom may fall into. The question of purity can't be asked about an element. You can ask "is this sample of matter of the element (blank) pure?" But not about the element itself
Is a metal an element?
Metals are a class of elements. A pure metal is an element. Some metals are alloys, which mean they have more than one metal or element in them. The metal bronze is made of two elements, the metal tin and the metal copper.

Are most elements metals or pure?
Most elements are metals, with the majority of the periodic table belonging to this category. Non-metal elements make up a smaller proportion of the periodic table, with only a few noble gases and halogens being purely non-metallic.
Are alkali metals always found pure in nature?
Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.
How many mixed and pure metals are there?
Pure metals: gold,silver,iron. Mixtures:steel I can't give more............. You know who ever is asking this question well a 5th grader just answer
What metals are pure metals?
No such thing, because when you zoom in down to the nano scale gold is not gold anymore as its properties change at the nano scale.
Are alkali metals found as pure elements in sea water?
Alkali metals exist only as salts.
Is an element a characteristic of metal?
All metals except alloys of metals are elements, but not all elements are metals.
What is the difference between ore and pure metal?
Metals that are pure are metals that contain no other materials. Some pure metals are silver, aluminum, gold, iron, lithium, magnesium, silicon, and zinc. A full list of metallic elements (pure metals) can be found at the Related Link.

What elements are found by themselves in nature?
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
What are not metals?
