Transcribed Image Text:**Question 23: Ionic Bond Formation**
**23. Which of the following combinations is most likely to produce an ionic bond?**
a. Cl and Br
b. P and S
c. N and O
d. B and O
e. Li and F
**Letter answer to question #23: __________**
**Explanation:**
Ionic bonds typically form between elements that have a significant difference in electronegativity. This usually occurs between metals and non-metals, where one atom donates electrons and becomes a positively charged ion (cation), and the other atom accepts electrons and becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). In this question, the combination of Li (Lithium, a metal) and F (Fluorine, a non-metal) is most likely to form an ionic bond. Thus, the correct answer is (e).
