You have to specify the solvent if you want to know if something is soluble. Do you mean soluble in water? If so, significant amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, or any of the halogens are soluble in water. Elemental sulphur and phosphorus will dissolve in water. Several of the metals react violently with water, which is not exactly the same as solubility although it does result in soluble compounds - these include lithium, sodium and calcium.

yes, examples: arsenic, selenium, bromine, Mercury, most gaseous elements, many metals in trace amounts, elements that won't dissolve by themselves will dissolve in a water solution of one of their salts (iodine will dissolve in a water solution of potassium iodide).
