Answer:

An ionic bond

Step-by-step explanation:

They are most likely going to form an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is where atoms lose/gain electrons.

It is easier for elements in the first group to lose the one electron on their valence shell and for elements in the second group to take that.

Some examples are Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and Potassium Chloride (KCl)
