The most common elements for a compound are the following:
Hydrogen
Oxygen
Carbon
Nitrogen
Chlorine
Iodine
Potassium
Bromine
Cesium
Fluorine
Rubidium
Why you might ask?
These are all the natural occurring Alkali Metals, Halogens, and Diatomics. Carbon and Hydrogen are needed for basic sugars, hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, and much more so I threw them in there.
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.
These elements exist as compounds.
A relatively small number of elements, around 90 out of the over 100 naturally occurring elements on the periodic table, are used to make up millions of compounds. This is due to the unique chemical properties of these elements, which allow for a wide variety of combinations and bonds to form between them, resulting in the vast number of compounds that exist.

The millions of compounds that exist are made from approximately 115 elements!

Yes, besides elements and compounds, matter can exist in form of mixtures.

Because
Calcium is an element. There are things such as elements and compounds. Calcium is a single element. Calcium containing compounds exist also but compounds contain more than one element.
All elements and compounds can exist as a gas if heated sufficiently.
The far fewer materials are elements than are not elements. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, while most materials are combinations of different elements (compounds) or mixtures of elements and compounds. There are 118 known elements, but an infinite number of possible combinations of those elements.
Elements can exist as molecules when they combine with other elements to form compounds due to the sharing or transfer of electrons, creating stable structures. These molecules are held together by chemical bonds, which can be covalent, ionic, or metallic, depending on the types of elements involved. The formation of molecules allows the elements to achieve a more stable configuration, following the octet rule and minimizing their energy state.
