Will mg combine with any other elements?

Yes it does. Magnesium is most liekly to combine ionically with the group 16 or 17 elements, like Oxygen, Fluorine, Sulfur, Chlorine, etc.


Does lead combine with any other elements to create a compound?

No lead does not combine with any other elements.....it is one of the only dangerous elements therefor it would be a hazard


Which elements don't bond with other elements?

There are some elements that can't become a compound but can become a mixture. OK your question is not completely understood. A compound is made up of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical means. A compound is formed in a chemical reaction. A mixture is 2 or more substances (it doesn't have to be elements) that are phsically combined and can only be separated by physical means. So the answer to your question is not open because your question should be some thing like "Which element(s) does not actively combine with other elements in a compound or mixture?" The answer to that question would be many. Some elements can't come together to form a compound but they can form a mixture perfectly and visa versa.Ans 2. The above answerer has not fully understood the question. The word "combine" defines "a compound" and excludes "a mixture". The phrase "actively combine" refers to those elements which show no spontaneous inclination to combine with any other. These elements were long referred to as "inert", but the name has recently been changed to"noble gases". The reason for their dis-inclination to combine is that in every case the atom's outer electron shell is full; in other words their valency is zero.


Do compounds have properties like those of their elements?

No, Properties of compounds are totally diffident from that of their constituent elements. For example the property of common salt (sodium chloride) is no way related to either the properties of sodium metal and chlorine gas.


When two or more atoms from at least two different elements combine what is formed?

When they combine chemically, they form compounds, which can have very different chemical properties than the constituent elements.If they are combined physically, they only form mixtures, alloys, or colloids.

Can gold be combined with any other elements like water or salt?

Gold is considered a 'noble' metal. This is because it will not easily combine with other elements

Why won't sodium combine with sodium?

It does. Sodium forms a metallic-bonded structure, just like all metals and metal mixtures.


Why is sodium chloride not like the elements that form it?

elements are ...F*** OFF


Does lead like to combine with other elements?

Carbon, Geranium, Tin, and Silicon. The reason for this is because all of these elements including Lead, have four valence electrons.


How can i combine 2 elements?

There are a few elements that can be combined. Elements like hydrogen bonds and iconic bonds can be combined.


How many element can combine?

Most elements can combine in some fashion. Only a few, like Argon, are unable to combine in most circumstances.


Which elements would you expect to have chemical behavior similar to that of sodium?

I would expect all elements in group 1 to have similar chemical behavior to that of sodium, except for hydrogen. Hydrogen is not a metal, but has only 1 valence electron like the other elements in group 1.


Why does sodium chloride is not like the elements that form it?

Just tell me!

Sodium borate! when sodium and boron combine, they make enormous chains that can sometimes be easily visible to the human eye.


What are elemental ions?

In the Periodic Table of elements you have elements, these elements represent neutral atoms of elements, ions are just like neutral atoms, the only difference is the have less or more electrons in the orbital. So Na is sodium atom and Na+ is sodium ion
