By having a close look on the electronic configuration we can easily tell that which element will combine with the other elements and by which force too.
no they can bond with any other element
Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
Almost every other element except the elements in group 18 bond with oxygen to form compounds.
All the elements except elements belonging to zero group (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe which are inert in nature) can bond with other elements.
Oxygen
Elements with complete outer energy levels are noble, which means that they will not bond with other elements. They are not (normally) reactive.
Hg (Mercury) is an element, not a bond. It can bond with other elements in different way to form compounds.
Transition metals can use the two outermost shells/orbitals to bond with other elements.
Yes
With itself, and other elements.
All elements in the B4 column of the periodic table are able to bond with Tungsten. However, Tungsten can only bond with other elements.
They are reactive, but selective with elements that they will bond with. Most bond with oxygen and oxygen bonds with itself. Elements in the same families tend to bond with other elements similarly, but there are no hard and fast rules.
