What else can I help you with?
Why is that some metals occur in nature as free elements while others occur in combine forms?
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.
What are the non toxic metals in nature?
Some examples of non-toxic metals found in nature include gold, silver, platinum, and copper. These metals are not reactive and do not pose harmful effects to humans or the environment in their natural state.
Metals occur naturally in what state?
in there native state
Why do you rarely find metals in a pure state?
Metals are highly reactive and are most commonly found in an oxidized state.
Why does Aluminium occur in a form of a compound whereas gold is found in free state?
This is because metals like gold lie at the bottom in the activity series so they are less reactive and are found in the free state, whereas, metals like aluminium, zinc, etc. are found on the top of the activity series so they are highly reactive and are found in the form of compounds.
Metal is quite reactive and is never free in nature?
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.

Why are transition metals not as reactive as alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
transition elements are not as reactive as alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.. this is so because of the valence electronic configurations. alkali metals have ns1 configurations which have easy chances of loosing electrons so as to gain the stable state. Attaining a stable state is the law of nature. hence to attain it they have to redily donate electron. this is not so easily possible for the transition elements..
Why do you rarely find metals in a pure state?
Metals are highly reactive and are most commonly found in an oxidized state.
Are group 1 or group 2 metals ever found in their elemental state?
All the chemical elements from group I and II are very reactive; it is impossible to found these elements in nature in elemental state.
Does plutonium exist alone in a natural state?
No, plutonium occurs only in trace amounts in nature, and it's too reactive to occur as a pure metal.
Why reactive metals are usually found in compounded form?
Reactive metals are usually found in compound simply because they react easily. They readily form compounds by reacting with air, water, or other substances in their environment. It is also difficult to extract many of these from their compounds, often electrolysis is the only effective way. This process does not usually occur in nature.

How does gold occur naturally?
Gold is one of the few metals that occurs in its pure state in nature. Gold pieces found are called nuggets.
Which metals occurs in a free state?
Only a few metals are found in the free state, generally metals react to form for example oxides, sulfides which then may further react. Some found free are gold silver copper and platinum. All of these are relatively unreactive
