There are some elements that can't become a compound but can become a mixture. OK your question is not completely understood. A compound is made up of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical means. A compound is formed in a chemical reaction. A mixture is 2 or more substances (it doesn't have to be elements) that are phsically combined and can only be separated by physical means. So the answer to your question is not open because your question should be some thing like "Which element(s) does not actively combine with other elements in a compound or mixture?" The answer to that question would be many. Some elements can't come together to form a compound but they can form a mixture perfectly and visa versa.
Ans 2. The above answerer has not fully understood the question. The word "combine" defines "a compound" and excludes "a mixture". The phrase "actively combine" refers to those elements which show no spontaneous inclination to combine with any other. These elements were long referred to as "inert", but the name has recently been changed to"noble gases". The reason for their dis-inclination to combine is that in every case the atom's outer electron shell is full; in other words their valency is zero.

Can elements in the middle of the periodic table bond with other elements?
All the elements except elements belonging to zero group (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe which are inert in nature) can bond with other elements.
What other elements does iron bond with?
Oxygen
What elements have complete outer energy levels and will bond with any other element?
Elements with complete outer energy levels are noble, which means that they will not bond with other elements. They are not (normally) reactive.
What type of bonding is hg?
Hg (Mercury) is an element, not a bond. It can bond with other elements in different way to form compounds.
What can carbon atoms bond with?
With itself, and other elements.
Is it true that Elements can only bond with other elements within the same row or period?
no they can bond with any other element
What can bond with carbon atoms and many other elements in many ways?
Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
What other elements or compounds bond with oxygen to make other elements?
Almost every other element except the elements in group 18 bond with oxygen to form compounds.
Can elements in the middle of the periodic table bond with other elements?
All the elements except elements belonging to zero group (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe which are inert in nature) can bond with other elements.
What other elements does iron bond with?
Oxygen
What elements have complete outer energy levels and will bond with any other element?
Elements with complete outer energy levels are noble, which means that they will not bond with other elements. They are not (normally) reactive.
What type of bonding is hg?
Hg (Mercury) is an element, not a bond. It can bond with other elements in different way to form compounds.
How many shells will transition metals use to bond with other elements?
Transition metals can use the two outermost shells/orbitals to bond with other elements.
Does Zinc bond easily with other elements?
Yes
What can carbon atoms bond with?
With itself, and other elements.
What elements bond with tungsten?
All elements in the B4 column of the periodic table are able to bond with Tungsten. However, Tungsten can only bond with other elements.
What is a characteristic of BCNO groups?
They are reactive, but selective with elements that they will bond with. Most bond with oxygen and oxygen bonds with itself. Elements in the same families tend to bond with other elements similarly, but there are no hard and fast rules.
