Most exist in some form of oxide in the ore that carries it. Gold and Silver can exist in a pure form and be pulled right out of the ground and used, but can also be combined with other items and need to be refined.
Gold, silver, and platinum are examples of metals that are not very reactive and occur in a free state in nature. These metals are often found in their pure form, which makes them relatively easy to mine and extract.
No- they are too reactive and thus always found in componds and mixtures
Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are found in nature in various compounds, but they are not typically found in their pure form. They are highly reactive and readily react with other elements to form compounds.
Depends on how easy it is to oxidize the metal, outside of gold and meteoric iron, almost all metals are found in an oxidized state.
in there native state

metals are existing in nature and these are formed by minerals over a period of time while alloys are combination of different metals.
yes, as metals are malleable and ductile in nature

Not possible, they are so reactive that they will combine instantly with nearly anything they contact.
the properties or description of metals. that's it!
Yes, it's true for almost all metals. But some metals like Copper, Mercury, Silver,Gold and Platinum are very less reactive and sometimes occur in free state in nature.
Garnet is a type of mineral that is found in nature. It is often mined from underground caves, like other minerals and metals.

No reaction happens. Only way to get a reaction going is if you have two molecules with different Metals and Non-metals. Metals in this one are different but non-metals are not so no reaction.
Gold is one of the few metals that occurs in its pure state in nature. Gold pieces found are called nuggets.
