When elements form compounds by combining with other element(s) then they

form positive or negative ions(i.e gains a positive or a negative charge) to bring about combination.As the positive and negative ions attract each other with a strong chemical bond (electrovalent or covalent) they combine with each other to form compound. Thus the reactant elements are actually present in the produced compound as metal or non-metals ions.

What do you find least of in nature elements compounds or mixtures?

Pure elements are found least in nature compared to compounds and mixtures. Most elements exist bonded to other elements to form compounds or mixed with other substances to form mixtures in nature. Pure elements are less common due to their tendency to react and combine with other elements.

Do elements that combine in changing ratios form mixtures?

When elements combine in changing ratios, they form compounds rather than mixtures. Mixtures are made up of different substances that are not chemically bonded together, while compounds are formed by chemical bonding between elements in specific ratios.
