Those on opposite sides of the Periodic Table (ignoring the noble gases of course). Like sodium and cloride (to make table salt).

What pairs of element types are most likely to form a ionic compound?
Metal and Non-metal
What is the name the ionic compound that forms when sodium and iodine pairs of elements are combined chemically?
Sodium and iodine combined together would have the name "sodium iodide". The chemical formula would be NaI.
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
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.
How are bases named?
Cytosine pairs with guanine Adenine pairs with thymine (or with uracil in RNA)
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 pairs of element types are most likely to form a ionic compound?
Metal and Non-metal
Are elements that are always found in pairs ionic?
It`s Diatomic
What is the name the ionic compound that forms when sodium and iodine pairs of elements are combined chemically?
Sodium and iodine combined together would have the name "sodium iodide". The chemical formula would be NaI.
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-).

Because lithium form a cation and sulfur an anion the lithium sulfide (Li2S) form an ionic compound, a salt.
What are binary ionic compounds made of?
Some molecules (not just ionic compounds) always tend to come in pairs. Aluminum oxide for example Al2O3 always comes in a pair Al4O6, the empty electron pairs on the Aluminum making attractive sites for the filled electron pairs on Oxygen to 'stick' to.
When atoms of two different elements share one or more pairs of electrons is a ionic bond formed?
Yes !
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 are bases named?
Cytosine pairs with guanine Adenine pairs with thymine (or with uracil in RNA)
Which of these pairs of elements is most likely to be part of a polyatomic ion?
C and N
