A metal and a non metal. If you combine two metals, you get a metallic (or a physical) bond. If you combine two non metals you get a covalent bond. Metals are any element on hte Periodic Table to the left of the zig zag likne. non metals are to the right.
One example of an Ionic compound would be Sodium Chloride (salt): NaCl

What element is most likely to form an ionic compound with Ba?
Fluorine
Which pair of elements are most likely to form an ionic compound P and Br or Zn and K?
K and Br are most likely to form a chemical compound.
What pairs of element types are most likely to form a ionic compound?
Metal and Non-metal
What type of compound does bromine form?
It's ionic if it is bonded with hydrogen or other metals, and it's covalent if with other nonmetals, but since bromine is a halogen, it is most likely to form ionic compounds.
Why do scientist need to identify ionic compounds?
Because Ionic bonds are the strongest of all in chemistry. If a compound is ionic, it is unstable and will most likely fix itself with a corresponding ionic compound.
Is magnesium and fluorine most likely to form an ionic compound?
Yes. They will form the ionic compound magnesium fluoride, MgF2.

K and Br are most likely to form a chemical 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
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
What pairs of element types are most likely to form a ionic compound?
Metal and Non-metal
What elements is most likely to form an ionic compound with potassium a.Na b.Ca c.C d.O?
oxygen

What type of compound do most nonmetals form?
ionic compounds
Is fluorine and iodine a most likely pair to form a ionic compound?
No, they are both halogens and nonmetals with a electronegativity too close together to form an ionic bond. They, if ever bonded, would form a covalent, or polar covalent bond.
What will most likely happen to non-metalic atom after ionic bond?
An ionic compound is formed based on the electrostatic attraction.
