==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]] [[metal]]s are often found as a [[mixture]] called an [[alloy]]. For example when [[Gold]] is found, it is often [[mixture|mixed]] with [[Silver]], so they may need to be separated.
