Where do elements come from ?
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the query posted by you.
Elements occur in nature either in free state or in combined state. For example, reactive elements are always found in combined state with other reactive elements. Like marble consists majorly of calcium carbonate, in which calcium is present in combined state with carbon and oxygen. On the other hand, some unreactive elements like gold are found in free state in gold mines. There are also some reactive elements like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon etc. which are present in free state in the form of either gases (oxygen and nitrogen in air) or coal/diamond/graphite (carbon).
Hope this information will clear your doubt regarding occurrence of elements in nature.
