Whether the elements found in the ground are reactive or not, partly depends on whether there is any other chemical there for them to react with.

Gold, Platinum, Tin, and a few others close to the noble metals are less reactive, but even some reactive elements are found (uncommonly) in the native state.

Silver is one of the more common ones so found, but Iron and Mercury are also found in the native state.

Alkali metals are very reactive metals.


Why are gold and platinum found as pure metals?

Gold and platinum are found as pure metals because they are very unreactive and resistant to corrosion. This allows them to exist in nature in a relatively pure form without reacting with other elements. Additionally, their chemical properties make them highly resistant to oxidation and weathering, further contributing to their presence as pure metals.

What the physical characteristics of gold?

Gold is a soft, malleable metal. It is 'Golden' in colour and is reflective/metallic in lustre. It conducts electricity and heat very well, like all metals. It is VERY unreactive.


Do gold and silver have reactivity?
