The correct answer is As a mixture with gourd-metal.

Key Points

  • Metal is very reactive and unstable. In surroundings, they react with other elements to form compounds to attain stability.
    • Metals thus react with sulfides, carbonates, oxygen to form respective minerals.
    • Hence they do not occur in the free state.
  • The metals that can be found in the free state in nature are gold, silver, platinum, etc.
    • Because they are non-reactive metals.

Hint

  • A native metal is any metal that is found pure in its metallic form in nature.
    • Only gold, silver, copper, and the platinum group occur natively in large amounts.
