The elements in group 1 combine easily with other elements to form compounds because they are trying to get rid of their extra electrons. That is why, for example, potassium will react strongly in water. Hope this helps.

What will form an ionic bond with nitrogen?
All group 1 metals and group 2 elements excluding beryllium will form ionic compounds with nitrogen.
What do elements combine to form?
Elements combine to form chemical compounds.
What is a element that will not form a compound?
Group 0 Elements ( Helium, Neon, Argon...) do not form compounds because they have a complete Octet and are thus unreactive and exist as mono atomic elements
How do elements join to from compounds?
YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).
Will sodium and sulfur form ionic compounds?
Yes. These two elements alone will form ionic sodium sulfide, and together with oxygen they can form several other ionic compounds such as Na2SO4.
Which group in the periodic table contains elements that do no react easily to form chemical compounds?
Group 18 elements, which are also known as noble gases, rarely form chemical compounds.
What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
Can helium easily form compounds with other elements?
no
The elements from which group are necessary to form halide compounds?
group 17
What group share electrons and form covalent compounds with other elements?
The Nitrogen Group.
What group of elements are generally from colored compounds?
The transition metals tend to form colored compounds.
Which group on the Periodic Table of the Elements contains elements that react with oxygen to form compounds with the general formula X2O?
group 1 elements.
What compounds form the element gadolinium and how are they used?
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
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.
Why do you not find pure samples of highly reactive element in the ground?
Being very reactive these elements react quickly and form compounds.
Why are group 1 elements univalent?
univalent metals, which form colourless ionic compounds
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table?
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table, for example Groups 1 and 17, form ionic compounds. Examples include LiCl, NaCl, KI, and RbBr. The elements in Group 1 are the alkali metals, and the elements in Group 17 are the halogens, which are nonmetals.
