Nickel, copper, uranium, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, etc. (In other words, transition metals (including the Lanthanides and Actinides)).
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
Common elements that form salts include metals such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, as well as non-metals such as chlorine, sulfur, and fluorine. Salts are typically formed through the combination of a metal and a non-metal through ionic bonding.
Transition elements, because of their ability to form coloured compounds due to d-d electronic transitions.
Salts are typically formed by the reaction of an acid with a base, which usually involves a metal and a non-metal. Common pairs of elements that would likely form a salt include alkali metals (like sodium or potassium) with halogens (like chlorine or bromine), resulting in compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt) or potassium bromide. Additionally, transition metals can also form salts with non-metals, such as copper with sulfur to create copper(II) sulfide.
Helium, neon and argon are the least likely elements to form compounds.
The majority of elements, and especially metals form salts.
Practically all chemical elements can form salts.
Metals form salts.
Metals and ammonium form generally salts.

Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.
If the elements are both non-metals, they form a molecular compound. If they are both metals, they form a metallic bonds. If they are a metal and a non-metal they form ionic bonds (salts). (Ammonium salts are non-metals.)

Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
