'''Native Elements''' are those [[elements]] that occur in the free, uncombined state, and include [[metallic]] elements ([[gold]], [[silver]]), [[semimetallic]] elements ([[arsenic]], [[antimony]]), and [[nonmetallic]] elements ([[carbon]], [[sulfur]]). The [[metals]] are more numerous, and because they are [[malleable]] and have a metallic appearance, they are readily recognized.<ref>Chesterman, Charles W.
