Answer:

Mg and O

Step-by-step explanation:

To form a bond between oppositely charged particles, the two species must have significant difference in their electronegativity values.

This bond is called an ionic bond and it occurs between a metal and non-metal.

From the given choices Magnesium and Oxygen satisfies the criteria.

Mg is a metal and Oxygen is a non-metal

Mg is electropositive, it will readily lose electrons whereas Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily attract electrons.
