There are many elements that do not exist in nature in pure form, especially the highly reactive ones toward either end of the Periodic Table, such as sodium and chlorine. These are always derived from compounds.
Also the only metal that is found in its pure form in nature is gold due to its extreme unreactivity.
Your question hints at something but is incomplete.

What compounds form the element gadolinium and how are they used?
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
Can beryllium form compounds with any other element?
Beryllium can form binary compounds with the majority of the nonmetals and metalloids.
Which element group form colorful compounds?
transition metals
Why elements and all compound exist as molecules?
All elements and all compounds do not exist as molecules. As examples, noble gases exist as individulal atoms and ionic compounds form lattices.
Common compound of neon?
There is no such thing as a compound element. Something cannot be both an element and a compound Neon is an element and so is made of nothing but neon. Neon does not form any compounds.
What element does not exist in its pure form but is derived from compounds?
Sodium lithium magnesium boron aluminum etal

silver
Does Aluminum exist by itself or does it have to be in a compound or molecule?
Aluminum is an element, composed of molecules, is on the periodic chart, does exist by itself AND can be combined to form compounds.
What compounds form the element gadolinium and how are they used?
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
What form does the element Bromine occur in nature?
Probably in ionic compounds where they act as anions. I don't think OBr2 will exist everywhere at all.

Yes, they can.
Is CNO a compound or element?
Neither, it is an ion that cannot exist on its own as a substance. It is known as the fulminate ion. It combines with positive ions to form various compounds.
Explain why helium does not react with other element to form a compounds?
why helium does not react with other elements to form compounds
Can beryllium form compounds with any other element?
Beryllium can form binary compounds with the majority of the nonmetals and metalloids.
Do compounds exist only in powder form?
No. Many compounds are liquids (water, hexane) and gasses (carbon dioxide, ammonia) at room temperature. Many compounds are solid at room temperature and can, but often do not exist in the form of a powder.
