It depends on the metal.
Gold will react with other elements with great difficulty. There are gold compounds, but if you have a solid chunk of gold it'll basically sit there and do nothing. Titanium and aluminum are pretty reactive. Iron reacts pretty well with oxygen.
At the far end of the scale, sodium goes out of its way to react with other elements.
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.

== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
No, potassium is an extremely reactive metal that reacts very easily with other elements.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Argon is the least likely in the list to react with other elements, because argon is a noble gas and none of the other elements in the list is.

Americium is a very reactive metal and can react with the majority of other chemical elements.
Nobel gasses.
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.

Group-18 elements least react with other elements. They are inert in nature. They are called noble gases.Elements in group 18 are less likely to react with any other elements. This group is made out of the noble gases. Its members are He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn.
