What else can I help you with?
What is a group often used for electrodes or catalysts because they do not combine easily with other elements called?
The platinum group is often used for electrodes or catalyts because they do not combine easily with other elements.
Inactive gases are?
Inactive gases are gases that are chemically unreactive under normal conditions. They often include noble gases such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. These gases have a stable electron configuration and are generally non-reactive with other elements.
What names the elements that combine to form a compound?
The chemical name of the compound is often based on the names of the elements that are part of it. However, for many simple organic compounds it is not possible to determine the component elements.
Do non metals gain electrons when they combine to form compounds?
Yes, nonmetals typically gain electrons when they combine to form compounds. This process allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration, often resembling that of noble gases. By gaining electrons, nonmetals become negatively charged ions, or anions, which can then bond with positively charged ions (cations) or other elements to form compounds.
Which element does not react with other elements?
Generally the noble gases, however xenon (Xe) has been found to create compounds with other elements, most often with F in XeF8

Why are some elements found separately?
I take it that you mean native elements. Some meteoric iron occurs - perhaps the remnant of the interior of an exploded planet.Gold often exists as a native element, because it has a low combination propensity, and is essentially uncorrodible.Similar metals such as copper, silver, mercury, tin and platinum are not uncommon.Then there are the non-metals, of which carbon and sulfur are the common ones.And to which must be added the gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and the noble gases such as neon, argon etc.As to the why, the simple answer is that they either do not easily combine with other elements (gold, neon); or locally in surplus to anything with which they could combine (sulfur, carbon, mercury).
Are the compounds often very different from those of the elements that make it up?
Yes, compounds have different properties than their constituent elements because the atoms in a compound combine to form new chemical bonds and structures. This results in unique physical and chemical properties not seen in the individual elements.

In chemistry group 18 is often referred to as the?
Group 18 is often referred to as the Noble Gases.
Is it true when element chemically combine the usually form compounds that have properties that are similar to those of the uncombined elements?
No: The compounds more often have very different properties from those of the elements that form them.
What elements are used to form compounds?
Just about all of them! The noble gases are very rarely combined into compounds, but even some of them (most often Xe) can be combined to form a compound (the other noble gases, Ne, He, Ar, and Kr almost never react to form a compound though).
Which element does not react with other elements?
Generally the noble gases, however xenon (Xe) has been found to create compounds with other elements, most often with F in XeF8
Can nitrogen combine with anything?
Yes, and often does. For example, the DNA in your body is impossible without it.
What determines if elements will combine?
The ability of elements to combine is determined primarily by their electron configuration, particularly the number of valence electrons. Atoms tend to seek stability by achieving a full outer electron shell, often through chemical bonding, which can occur via ionic or covalent interactions. Additionally, factors such as electronegativity, atomic size, and the presence of functional groups influence how and whether elements will combine. Overall, these properties dictate the likelihood and type of bonds that can form between different elements.
