Question

Why some metals are found in native free state and other not found in native state? Explain with example. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because of their reactivity

Explanation:

Metals which are highly reactive like sodium or potassium react with the various things around them when they are in native state. So, they are often found in a combined state. When you take lesser reactive metals, like gold or silver, they do not react much with the things around them and hence are often found in their native state.
