Are elements able to bond together without enzymes and why?

Enzymes, as used in reactions, usually do not causes bond formation. They are usually responsible for breaking of bonds but when used in bond formation, they are commonly catalysts. Catalysts simply provide a lower activation energy and causes the reaction to occur faster. Thus, without catalysts, the reaction (including bond formation) will still occur, just at a slower rater. Thus, bond formation can definitely occur without enzymes (catalysts).
