Question

study the electron dot diagrams in figure 1 above. which two elements are most likely to react and form a compound what type of compound are they likely to form

Answer 1

there’s no picture? regardless, if there are two numbers of electrons adding up to 8, then they will likely form an ionic bond/compound. if they can form a covalent bond with whatever amount of electrons, ex carbon 4 and 4, then it would b covalent compound

Answer 2

Considering the attached image;

Answer;

- Lithium (Li) and Flourine (F)

Step-by-step explanation;

-(Li) Lithium and (F) Fluorine would create a binary ionic compound which would be lithium fluoride which would be (LiF). Lithium is an alkali metal in group 1 in the periodic table , while flourine is a halogen in group 7. Lithium reacts by loosing an electron while flourine reacts by gaining one electron. Therefore, they reacts forming LiF which is an ionic compound.

-They would create an ionic compound because lithium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. Metal + Nonmetal = ionic compound.
