Key Stage 3

Meaning

A native metal is one that is found not as part of a metal compound but as an element.

About Native Metals

Copper, Gold, Silver and Platinum are all found Native.
Native metals are often found as a mixture called an alloy. For example when Gold is found, it is often mixed with Silver, so they may need to be separated.
