Hello,
(ANS) I suspect that whilst the answer is strictly YES! in the purely technical sense. The real answer here is, that if it was possible I think science & humans would have done it by now. Its incredibly, incedibly difficult (infact almost impossible) to invent something that is genuinely new & totally different & completeley orginial, never been done before.
You would understand that if you look at just the periodic table of elements. That there are only a finite number of elements, atoms,etc and so there are ultimately a finite number of possible combinations. It all gets extremely complex.

Helium is the only element that has not been made into a compound . If you were able to combine Helium with any element you would be a new subsatnce. Fluorine is the one that has been tried due to it being the most eletrocnegitive (attracts electrons to it during a reaction the most strongly and keeps it).

Yes, and clickherex's method would be the easiest way to do it. It has actually been done reasonably recently with only 1 chemical element! The discovery of Buckyballs (carbons in the shape of footballs and other similar shapes) are just made up of carbon (C60, C70 and others) and got its discoverers a Nobel prize in the 1990s

Using some of the really rare elements you could put them together with other elements to create a new compound but then it would probably decay (I believe most of them have very short radioactive half lives).

Yes but they've probably already been made. And for some elements it would be practically impossible as they only actually found four atoms of one of the elements on the periodic table, if only i could remember which.

Depends on the elements you want to use. But in general - yes!

Yes, using carbon and hydrogen, and making long chains and benzine rings and interlinking them in previously untried ways (trillions of combinations!).
