An example of a native mineral is elemental gold (Au) in its pure form without any combination with other elements.
As elements or as compounds For example, copper occurs in its elemntal form (native copper) and as various compounds (copper sulphide, copper sulphate etc)
Native elements can be silver or cpper and are made up of one element only.
It means that you are fluent (can speak) and literate (can read & write) in your own 'native' language (example; Engish) and another (example; Spanish)
Yes, gold and silver are native elements, which means they can be found in their pure form in nature without being chemically combined with other elements.
yes
There are a lot of elements over 100. One example is silicon14, another is curlum96. This link should help:http:/www.bpc.edu/mathscience/chemistry/images/periodic_table_of_elements.jpg
An element is a substance made up of one type of atom, while a native element is a naturally occurring pure substance composed of only one type of atom. Native elements are rare and can be found in their pure form in nature, such as gold or diamond.
These are types of chemical compounds. Halides contain halogen elements (e.g. chloride, fluoride), oxides contain oxygen, sulfates contain sulfate ions, sulfides contain sulfide ions, carbonates contain carbonate ions, and native elements are pure forms of elements (e.g. gold, silver).
Probably the Greek or Latin meanings of the elements came from studying the way the elements behave, or the characteristics the elements possess. For example, helium comes from the Greek 'helios' for 'sun'. Infact, it first was found in the sun. As another example, chlorine comes from the Greek 'chloros', for 'green'. It indeed has a greenish tinge.
They can occur as either pure substances, for example native gold and sulphur, or combined with other substances in the form of compounds, such as ores.
Xenon is one of the elements. It is a type of gas (another example of a gas is the oxygen we all breathe). It is inert (whereas, for example, oxygen can combine with hydrogen to form water, xenon does not combine with other elements).
