Binary ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons. This transfer results in the formation of ions, which are atoms or groups of atoms with an electrical charge. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.

1. Which of the following elements are most likely to form an ionic bond?
Carbon and Oxygen
Sodium and Chlorine
Hydrogen and Helium
Nitrogen and Fluorine
2. What is the charge of a bromide ion?
+1
-1
+2
-2
1. An ionic bond is formed between a and a .
