Question

A metal never found in Free State is:
A) $Au$
B) $Ag$
C) $Cu$
D) $Zn$

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question we will discuss the metal which is never found in free state in nature. As some metals are very reactive and can very fastly react with the oxygen present in the atmosphere and cannot be safe, sometimes they can be seen as explosive.

Complete answer:
As we know that metals are lustrous and opaque elements, which are good conductors of electricity and heat. As though most metals are somewhat ductile and malleable and stay, in general manner, denser as compared to the other elemental substances. So, the native metal is somewhat metal that originates purely in its metallic form in fauna.

In the question gold\[\left( {Au} \right)\], silver\[\left( {Ag} \right)\], Copper \[\left( {Cu} \right)\] are known as the noble metals and occurs in nature in free state. And there are Some of the metals that are very reactive metals as they react through the oxygen even at the temperature of room and therefore, they are not ever found within a free state in nature. Consequently,\[Zn\] does not occur in the free state.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Zinc can even be working as a master switch to state the body cell when to divide. As though the Zinc's role in life can't be minimalist. Actually, the element appears to be a vital component of life. There are some of the metals which are fairly reactive so they cannot exist in a free State and hence, they originate in nature in the form-of their compounds.
