The ONLY elements that will not combine with other elements under normal conditions are the inert noble gases on the far right column of the Periodic Table, they will not even combine with themselves like other gases do. The reason for this is they are the only elements whose valence shell is entirely full of electrons. So of course zinc will combine with other elements, as its valence shell is not full.
What might be confusing you is that zinc is commonly used as a coating on steel and iron to prevent rusting. What you may not know is that the zinc does this because it corrodes much faster than the steel or iron can rust, combining with the oxygen before the steel or iron could combine with the oxygen. Zinc can even (to a limited extent) combine with the oxygen in the existing rust, reducing it back to iron!
Zinc very strongly combines with other elements.
Yes, zinc reacts with other elements to form compounds. Some common zinc compounds include zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and zinc chloride. These compounds have various industrial and medicinal applications.
Cadmium, Zinc, Mercury
Yes, copper readily combines with several other elements. Combined with zinc it is brass, combined with tin it is bronze. It combines with many other elements including oxygen and sulfur.
Radium and zinc do not have a strong attraction for each other, so they do not readily combine to form a compound. It is unlikely for these two elements to form a stable chemical bond due to differences in their chemical properties.
zinc is a pure element. therefore it does contain other things !!!!!!

Oxygen is the element that can combine with almost all other elements.
Uranium combine with the majority of other elements; also uranium has alloys with the majority of metals.
This compound you have put down contains 3 elements. Which is zinc carbon and iodine. I have a feeling you meant to put down ZnCl2 because I do not think zinc carbon and iodine can all combine together to form a compound. So the two elements are Zinc and Chlorine
Neon has completely filled orbitals. It is chemically inert and does not combine with other elements.
No. helium is chemically inert and does not combine with other elements.
