more than can possibly be listed here. Its in the millions (if you're counting polymers). as long as the other combining element has one or more valance electron it can create a bond

When the elements carbon and oxygen are put together does it make a compound or mixture?

If carbon molecules, such as nanotubes, buckyballs, or diamonds, are mixed with oxygen molecules, the result will be a mixture unless the molecules are heated enough to break apart, but if the atoms themselves are mixed, not already in molecule form, they will form the compound carbon dioxide (CO2).
