Chemistry Worksheets Class 12 on Chapter 6 General Principles and Processes of Isolation of Elements with Answers - Set 1

Elements occur in nature either in the combined state or in a free state. Those occurring in free state or native are few. Metals occurring in free state are copper, silver, gold, platinum and other platinum group metals. Non-metals occurring in the free state are carbon, sulphur, nitrogen, oxygen and noble gases. The occurrence of an element in nature in the combined or in the free state depends on certain basic aspects which need to be explored. The abundance of elements in the universe is based on spectral analysis of distant stars. Findings have revealed that there is a remarkable uniformity in this respect.
