Among the following, which is always found in free-state in nature? (1) Gold (2) Silver (3) Sodium (4) Copper

1 Answer

Answer :

(1) Gold Explanation: Gold is the least reactive in the reactivity series. Since it does not react with other elements, it is found in a free form. Only gold, silver, copper and the platinum metals occur in nature in larger amounts. Nonmetallic elements occurring in the native state include carbon and sulfur.
