Question

More reactive metal occur in combined form whereas less reactive metals occur as free in nature.Give reason

Answer 1

more reactive metals have a great affinity to get stable but less reactive metals don't.
This is because most reactive metals can lose electrons easily while less reactive can't.
That's why more reactive occurs in combined form and less reactive in free State.

Answer 2

Hey friend,

Here's your answer,

Metals such as aluminium, magnesium etc. have a tendency to react or combine with other elements in order to form compounds. Therefore, they occur in combined forms.

On the other hand, less reactive metals such as gold, platinum etc. do not have a tendency to combine with other elements and thus they exist as free metal.

Highly reactive metals possess greater reactivity and hence are not found in free state.

Hope this helps!!!!
