Yes, if by "mix" you mean react chemically to form bonds with another element/comopound. All organic compounds have at least one carbon atom present: hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, carbon dioxide, proteins... the list is long.

What can chromium combine with?
For example halogens, carbon, oxygen, sulfur, other nonmetals.
What elements combine with carbon to make organic compounds?
carbon and any other atom
What makes gold a stable element?
gold is a stable element,which means it does not readily combine with other elements
Why does argon not combine readily with other elements?
It is non-reactive because it's shells are full. Argon has three electron shells. It's third shell is filled with eight electrons. That is why it does not easily combine with other elements.
Why does xenon not combine readily with other elements?
Elements have a number of electrons in their outer shell of the atom, all elements want to have a full shell and usually form with other atoms to do so. However, Xenon is a noble gas and already has a full outer shell and so does not combine with other elements unless it is made to do so.
Do halogens rarely combine with other elements?
No. Halogens combine readily with sodium
Carbon atoms readily join with atoms of?
both other elements and carbon
What can chromium combine with?
For example halogens, carbon, oxygen, sulfur, other nonmetals.
What elements combine with carbon to make organic compounds?
carbon and any other atom
Does helium have carbon dioxide in it?
Helium does not combine with other elements and pure helium will not have carbon dioxide in it.
What makes gold a stable element?
gold is a stable element,which means it does not readily combine with other elements
Does francium combine readily with other elements?
The chemistry of francium is not known but francium is considered the most reactive metal.
Why does argon not combine readily with other elements?
It is non-reactive because it's shells are full. Argon has three electron shells. It's third shell is filled with eight electrons. That is why it does not easily combine with other elements.
What elements does carbon combine with in organic compounds?
Usually Hydrogen and Oxygen but also with other elements to a lesser extent.
Are carbon hydrogen and oxygen carbohydrates?
No. On their own they are elements. Carbohydrates do consist of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, but these elements can combine to make other compounds as well.
Why does xenon not combine readily with other elements?
Elements have a number of electrons in their outer shell of the atom, all elements want to have a full shell and usually form with other atoms to do so. However, Xenon is a noble gas and already has a full outer shell and so does not combine with other elements unless it is made to do so.
What kind of compound does diamond form?
Diamond is a compound of carbon and does not combine, except minutely with other elements. Other elements can give diamond a subtle colour.
