a metal and a nonmetal such as sodium and sulfur which would make sodium sulfide
Ionic bonds form primarily between metals and nonmetals.
Sulfur will form covalent bonds with itself and other nonmetals, but will form ionic bonds with most metals.
There are many compounds that do not have ionic bonds. The most common would be the diatomic gases, such as N2, O2, Cl2, etc.
silcon has the lowest electronegtaivity so would most likely form covalent bonds. Sulfur is next (although with group1 and 2 metals it forms ionic compounds) oxygen and chlorine have high electronegativites so form many ionic compounds - however they also form covalent compunds as well.
Ionic bonds are most likely to occur between a metal and a non metal due to the general difference in electronegativity. Examples include sodium chloride, iron oxide, etc. In these bonds, electron(s) are typically transferred from the metal to the non-metal.
No, they form covalent bonds.

No. They will most likely form an ionic bond. Metallic bonds form between the atoms of a metal, such as gold or iron.
Sulfur will form covalent bonds with itself and other nonmetals, but will form ionic bonds with most metals.
Lithium almost always forms an ionic bond since it needs to lose just one electron to expose a full outer electron shell. Oxygen can form either ionic or covalent bonds, but its bond with lithium is ionic.
Molecule. A nonmetal to nonmetal covalent bond. Electronegativity is not variant enough among the nonmetals to form ionic bonds.

Combinations of atoms from a metal and a non-metal form ionic bonds in most cases.
A. aluminum and oxygen B. sulfur and oxygen C. magnesium and chlorine D. copper and copper Correct Answer: Sulfur and Oxygen
Any positive ion will be able to bond with the Cl- ion to form an ionic bond. There is no more likely or less likely to bond. If the positive ion is 2+ charged, it simply bonds with 2 Cl- ions. If it is 1+ charged, it simply bonds with 1 Cl- ion. Hence, there is no positive ion which is most likely going to bond with Cl-.
