Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S

Lithium typically does not form anions when bonding with other elements. Instead, it tends to lose one electron to form a cation (Li⁺) due to its position as an alkali metal in Group 1 of the periodic table. This cation formation allows lithium to bond with anions from other elements, such as halides or oxides, in ionic compounds.
In binary ionic compounds, elements that tend to form anions are typically nonmetals. From the given options, sulfur (S) and iodine (I) are nonmetals that commonly form anions (S²⁻ and I⁻, respectively) when they react with metals. Other elements listed, such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and iron (Fe), are metals that tend to form cations rather than anions.
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
Water is a compound or a molecule made by covalent bondings.
Ti2O3 is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (titanium) and a nonmetal (oxygen). In this compound, titanium typically forms cations (Ti3+) while oxygen forms anions (O2-), resulting in an ionic bonding between the elements.

Titanium oxide is an ionic compound. Titanium is a transition metal that typically forms cations, while oxygen is a nonmetal that forms anions. In titanium oxide, the titanium cations and oxide anions are held together by ionic bonds.
Cu3P is an ionic compound. Copper (Cu) typically forms cations with a charge of +2, while phosphorus (P) forms anions with a charge of -3. In Cu3P, the copper cations and phosphorus anions form an ionic bond due to the transfer of electrons.
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
BaF2 is an ionic compound, consisting of barium (Ba) cations and fluoride (F) anions. It forms a crystal lattice structure with strong ionic bonds between the cations and anions.
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
