Answer:

The 2 elements who can form ionic bond is Li and F. It will form an ionic compound known as Lithium Fluoride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bond is formed between metal and non-metal element wherein, metal loses electron to become positively charged cation and non-metal gain electron to become negatively charged anion base on octet rule. There will be electrostatic attraction between cation and anion element creating ionic bond.

Base on the given Data:

Li (lithium) - Cation

F (Fluorine) - Anion

Si (Silicon) - is unstable, it can be cation or anion but can only bond with other element covalently.

Ne (Neon) - is a noble gas it will not likely form a bond on other element since it has a full share of valence electron.
