Answer: carbon and chlorine atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorine and carbon atoms would form covalent bonds due to the electro negative difference between the two atoms. Silver atoms would form metallic bonds between silver atoms. Argon is an inert gas and most inert gases are held by weak dispersion forces. Sodium and chlorine atoms will form ionic bonds due to the large electro negative difference between the two atoms.
