In nature aluminium is found in the form of its compounds while gold is found in free state. Give reasons.

Aluminium finds place higher up in the activity series and is thus quite reactive and is found as compounds in nature while gold is just at the bottom in the activity series and is thus least reactive. It does not react with other metal thus found in free state in nature.
