Group 1 A metals are not found free in nature because they?
Answer Details
Group 1A metals are not found free in nature because they are very reactive. They have a tendency to lose their outermost electron and form positive ions. Hence, they are highly reactive and readily react with other elements or compounds in nature. As a result, they are not found in their elemental form in nature. They are usually found in the form of ionic compounds such as halides, carbonates, and sulfates.
