Na and K are both metals and do not react
Na and Cl are metal and non metal respectively and will form ionic compound, NaCl or table salt or sodium chloride
Mg and Li are both metals and do not react
S and Cl are both non metals and will give covalent compounds

What kind of elements can are most likely to form an ionic bond?
Metals.
Why chloride and bromine are not likely to form an ionic bond?
Chloride and bromine are not likely to form an ionic bond because only one of them, chloride, is an ion.If the questioner meant chlorine and bromine, they are not likely to form an ionic bond with each other, because there is too little difference in their electronegativities. However, both of them are very likely to form ionic bonds with less electronegative elements, such as metals.
What is the name of a bond with a pair of elements that form a bond with the least ionic character?
The least ionic type of bond is a covalent bond.
When sodium atoms (Na) and chlorine atoms (Cl) join to make sodium chloride or table salt they form an ionic bond. Using this information which pair of elements is most likely to form an ionic bond?
Ionic bond exist between metals and nonmetals.
What types of elements are generally involved with an ionic bond?
A metal combining with a nonmetal gives you an ionic bond.
What kind of elements can are most likely to form an ionic bond?
Metals.
An ionic bond is most likely to form between two elements that have a?
... large difference in electronegativity.

Are likely to form a ionic bond?
A metal and a nonmetal can form an ionic bond.
What is the name of a bond with a pair of elements that form a bond with the least ionic character?
The least ionic type of bond is a covalent bond.
Which of these is most likely to form between elements transferring electrons to form oppositely charged particles?
An ionic bond
When sodium atoms (Na) and chlorine atoms (Cl) join to make sodium chloride or table salt they form an ionic bond. Using this information which pair of elements is most likely to form an ionic bond?
Ionic bond exist between metals and nonmetals.
What types of elements are generally involved with an ionic bond?
A metal combining with a nonmetal gives you an ionic bond.
What kind of bond results when electron transfer occurs between atoms of 2 different elements?
The kind of bond that results when electron transfer occurs between atoms of two different elements can be considered covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. The type of bond will depend upon the identities of the elements and their electronegativity's.
What elements are most likely to form an ionic compound?
Members of groups 1, 2, 6, 7 in the Periodic Table are most likely to form ionic compounds. It depends on what pair of elements are involved, for instance one rule of thumb is metal with nonmetal. Another, more systematic way, to assess this is to consider the difference in electronegativity between the two elements. If the electronegativity difference is 2 or more then the bond will be ionic. If the difference is less than 2 but more than 1.6 and one of the elements is a metal then there can be an ionic bond.
With what elements would beryllium most likely form an ionic bond Na CA Fe Br?
with bromine (Br)
What is a rule for predicting whether or not a bond will be ionic?
If the difference in electronegativity between the elements is greater than 2 then the bond will be ionic, if its between 1.6 and 2 then it will be ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
