When atoms of more than one element chemically bonded together, they form a molecule. In some contexts, the you might answer that they form a compound.
a new element
YES.
Allotrope
Each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist.
An allotrope is a form of an element which has a distinctly different molecular structure to another form of the same element.
The existence of an element (or any other chemical substance) in more than one chemical form is called "allotropy".

a compound.
Calcium is an element. There are things such as elements and compounds. Calcium is a single element. Calcium containing compounds exist also but compounds contain more than one element.
If an element has less than four valence electrons, it will tend to lose its valence electrons and form cations. If an element has more than four valence electrons, it will tend to gain electrons and form anions. An element that has four valence electrons will tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds.
a new element
YES.
alloy
One reason is that gold is considerably denser than iron and therefore sinks more consistently to the bottom of a shaken pan. Another reason is that iron rarely occurs in nature in elemental form, while gold relatively often does occur naturally in elemental form.
a new element
The more reactive it is the more less likely it is to be found in pure form
