Those on opposite sides of the Periodic Table (ignoring the noble gases of course). Like sodium and cloride (to make table salt).
Elements that are on opposite ends of the periodic table are most likely to form ionic compounds, such as metals and nonmetals. For example, sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal) form the ionic compound sodium chloride (table salt).
CH2O is a covalent compound. It consists of nonmetal elements (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) bonded together through shared pairs of electrons.
Mg and F are more likely to form an ionic compound because magnesium tends to lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet, while fluorine tends to gain 1 electron. This difference in electronegativity leads to the formation of an ionic bond between Mg and F. The other pairs do not exhibit as significant of an electronegativity difference to form an ionic compound.
In a chemical reaction between lithium (Li) and sulfur (S), it is likely that lithium would donate its electron to sulfur, forming an ionic bond between Li+ and S2-. This creates lithium sulfide (Li2S), an ionic compound.
No, SiBr4 is not ionic. Silicon tetrabromide (SiBr4) is a covalent compound, as it consists of shared pairs of electrons between the silicon atom and the four bromine atoms.
Elements that are on opposite ends of the periodic table are most likely to form ionic compounds, such as metals and nonmetals. For example, sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal) form the ionic compound sodium chloride (table salt).
Mg and F is most likely to form an ionic compound because magnesium (Mg) has a +2 charge and fluorine (F) has a -1 charge, leading to a strong attraction between the two. Oxygen (O) and chlorine (Cl) also form ionic compounds, but the attraction between Mg and F is stronger due to their larger difference in electronegativity.

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-).
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.
No, SiBr4 is not ionic. Silicon tetrabromide (SiBr4) is a covalent compound, as it consists of shared pairs of electrons between the silicon atom and the four bromine atoms.
B2H4 is a covalent compound. It consists of boron and hydrogen atoms that share electron pairs to form covalent bonds.
Acetylene is a covalent compound. It is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms that are bonded together through shared electron pairs.
