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.
