What is the pairs of atoms of Li and S would you expect to combine chemically to form an ionic compound?
Because lithium form a cation and sulfur an anion the lithium sulfide (Li2S) form an ionic compound, a salt.
What pairs of elements would be most likely to form an ionic compound?
Those on opposite sides of the periodic table (ignoring the noble gases of course). Like sodium and cloride (to make table salt).
How are bases named?
Cytosine pairs with guanine Adenine pairs with thymine (or with uracil in RNA)
What type of bond is ionic and covalent bond?
IONIC BOND: The compound formed by completely transporting an electron or a number of electrons is called an ionic compound, and the bond between the elements of the compound is called the ionic bond. EXAMPLE: NaCl is an ionic compound in which the Na atom donates 1 electron to Cl atom to attain stability and thereby to form the compound NaCl. In ionic bond, generally the metals are the electron donors and the nonmetals are the electron acceptors COVALENT BOND: The bond formed by sharing pair(s) of electrons is called covalent bond. In this type of compound, each of the atom shares equal no. of electrons in order to attain stability. A covalent bond can be of three types: single covalent bond, where 1 pair of electrons is shared between the atoms; double covalent bonds, where 2 pairs of electrons are shared; and triple covalent bond, where 3 pairs of electrons are shared.EXAMPLE:N2 molecule is formed by sharing of 3 pairs of electrons, thereby forming a N-N triple bond
Is ZnSO4 ionic or covalent bonding?
Both. The sulfur ion consists of one atom of sulfur and four of oxygen; because it does not have enough electrons to complete the octet rule for oxygen, it must use electrons from another source, whose charges are not balanced within the ion. The sulfur then forms six covalent bonds with oxygen: two double bond pairs, two single bond pairs. This causes the oxygen atoms with the extra electron to become negatively charged: The zinc ion forms an ionic bond with them and completes the compound.
What pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound Mg and F or O and Cl?
magnesium and fluorine will formthe ionic compound, MgF2
What do atoms form when they share electrons pairs?
When atoms share electrons in one or more pairs, they form a new compound by covalent bonding.
How is oxygen a compound?
oxygen is not a compound it is a diatomic (that means the element comes in pairs)
What are the element pairs from ionic bonds between them when combined together?
Sodium and chlorine
Is C02covalent or ionic compound?
CO2 is a covalently bonded compound, taking the form of O=C=O, with two pairs of electrons on each oxygen atom. Ionic compounds involve ionic bonds, such as that of NaCl (Na+ and Cl-).

Which two following pairs of atoms is most likely to form a covalently Bond compound?
calcium and lithum

Is an ionic bond is a shared pair of electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are not made by sharing electrons. Those would be covalent compounds. Ionic compounds are made when one atom donates an electron(s), and the other atoms takes the electron(s).
