Solution
- Most metals being reactive do not occur in nature in the free state but are found in a combined state as their salts such as oxides, carbonates, sulphides, and nitrates.
- However, some unreactive metals like silver, gold, platinum, generally occur in a free state.
- The compounds of metals that occur in nature along with the impurities are called minerals.
- For example, bauxite is a mineral of aluminium.
