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.
