Which pair of elements would be expected to form an ionic bond?

A. nitrogen & oxygen
B. lithium & fluorine
C. carbon & hydrogen
D. silicon & chlorine

Respuesta :

lithium and fluorine  

Lithium donates an electron to fluorine and make the fluorine with a negative charge and a full outer shell. Lithium consequently get a positive charge and a full outer shell. They then are attracted to each other an form a giant ionic lattice.  

Carbon and hydrogen are organic so they don't  

Nitrogen and Oxygen are also organic.  

Chlorine can form ions but not with silicon

B. lithium & fluorine
