Any element that's not a noble gas has to form compounds, because all non-noble elements have to fill its outer orbital and the only way they can do that is to form compounds--even with themselves, like H2 or O2.

Which type of substance is composed of two or more different kinds of elements always in the same ratio?
Two or more different elements that are chemically combined in a definite ratio is a compound. Based on the nature of the bonds, it can be called an ionic compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by ionic bonds) or an molecular compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by covalent bonds).
Is all the elements on the periodic table found in nature?
Absolutely not. The vast majority are found in a combined state in nature. Iron is not found as metal but always as an ore of mixed oxides etc. The halogens and all group 1,2,3 metals are always found combined etc.
Metals that are so reactive that in nature they are found only combined with other elements?
Alkali Metals
Are alkali metals always found pure in nature?
Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.
How do most elements in nature exist?
Most elements found in nature are in the combined form because of the ionic and hydroqen bondinq.
Which element is always found in nature combined with with other elements?
magnesium :)
Which group generally loses 3 valence electrons and are almost always combined with other elements in nature?
Group 3 elements

Two or more different elements that are chemically combined in a definite ratio is a compound. Based on the nature of the bonds, it can be called an ionic compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by ionic bonds) or an molecular compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by covalent bonds).
Is Mercury natural or combined in nature?
Mercury is a natural element. It is not man made or combined in nature. It is not a compound.

In zinc found combined or uncombined in nature?
Zinc is usually combined with other elements.
Is carbon combined?
Yes, carbon is always combined with something in nature
Sulfur is often found in nature as an element not combined with other elements in a compound. What does this fact tell you about the reactivity of sulfur?
Sulfur is not a highly reactive element under ordinary condition.
Sulfur Is Often Found In Nature As An Element Not Combined With Other Elements In A Compound. What does this facts tell you about the reactivity of sulfur?
Sulfur is not a highly reactive element under ordinary condition.
Is chlorine found in its elemental state or combined with other elements?
Chlorine is never found free in nature. It is always combined with another or other elements into compounds. Chlorine is highly reactive, and it wants to borrow an electron from just anything it can get close to. In general, it actually wants to "steal" that electron to form an ionic bond, and sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt, is one example of a common chlorine compound.
Metals that are so reactive that in nature they are found only combined with other elements?
Alkali Metals
Why is group 1 elements used as a compound not an element?
Because these elements are very Very reactive, especially with water. It wouldn't look nice if these elements were left out with nature. It's very rare to find them left out like that.They are mostly found combined with elements. Like sodium and chlorine make sodium chloride, and potassium and iodine make potassium iodide.
