Metallic elements outnumber non-metals by around 4:1, so take your pick from this selection of metals: * sodium * magnesium * potassium * caesium * copper * tin * iron * platinum * aluminium * titanium... Metals are found on the left side of the Periodic Table; non-metals are found on the right.

An element can't be made from other elements and so this would become a compound. Examples of a metallic element combining with Oxygen to form a compound include:

Magnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide

Potassium + Oxygen --> Potassium Oxide

Zinc + Oxygen --> Zinc Oxide

Oxides are minerals that contain oxygen bonded to a metallic element. The type of substance formed depends on the element that is bonded to it. For example, when oxygen bonds with minerals containing silicon, these are called silicates.
