Neptunium is a metal, and therefore it can in theory form all the usual kinds of compounds that metals form; it could combine with oxygen and form neptunium oxide. However, neptunium is a radioactive element with a very short half-life, therefore it does not stick around long enough to engage in chemical reactions, or even if it did, the resulting compound would also exist only for a very brief period of time.

Why Elements are aleways combined in a compound with another element why does this occur?
That's because of the way "compound" is defined. If atoms of an element combine with other atoms of the SAME element, then it's not called a "compound".
Where was neptunium obtained from?
Neptunium is a transuranic element, meaning that it has so many protons that it does not occur in nature. Most commonly Neptunium is a byproduct of nuclear reactions and attempts to create Plutonium (another transuranic element).
