Berkelium is a synthetic element that is not found naturally in the Earth's crust. It is produced in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators by bombarding heavier elements with particles.
When metalloids are found in nature, they are usually in the form of compounds or minerals. They can be commonly found in ores such as bauxite, borax, or arsenopyrite. In their pure elemental form, metalloids are rare in nature.
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.
Gold and silver are commonly found as nearly pure metals (solids) in nature. Sulfur - while often found in compounds in nature is also often mined as a solid (usually by first melting it and pumping the liquid to the surface). Pure solid sulfur is the infamous "brimstone" of the Bible. Pure solid carbon is also found in nature - as graphite and diamonds. Arsenic occurs in many minerals, usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but also as a pure elemental crystal.
Hydrogen has the lowest atomic number, and is not found in nature as individual atoms, but is found in nature as the diatomic molecule, H2.
Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.
When metalloids are found in nature, they are usually in the form of compounds or minerals. They can be commonly found in ores such as bauxite, borax, or arsenopyrite. In their pure elemental form, metalloids are rare in nature.
In the nature the majority of chemical elements are found as compounds.
Bohrium is an artificial element.
Rutherfordium is an artificial chemical element.
In nature, wolves and bears.
Chemically reactive.
Platinum usually exists uncombined in nature or alloyed with iridium.
In nature, copper usually exists as copper minerals such as chalcopyrite, bornite, and malachite, or in its metallic form. It is commonly found in ores and can also be found in small amounts in rocks, soil, and water.
The most stable of any element is found free in nature. Sometimes isotopes are also found along with the most stable of an element. Isotopes usually have short half life.
Fluorine is a gas, yellowish green and is highly reactive.. Fluorine is most commonly found in nature as a fluoride mineral such as fluorite, calcium fluoride
Zinc is usually combined with other elements.
In organic chemistry, an allothreonine is one of two stereoisomers of threonine which are not usually found in nature.
