|
|
sodium and sulfur

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sodium (Na) is a metal, and fluorine (F) is a nonmetal. Thus they are likely to form an ionic bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic bonds. Nonmetals and nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -So ionic bonds are formed by complete transfer of electrons, or i can say that the bond formed between metal and non metal that is known as ionic bond, so generally ionic bond formed between metal and non metal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Option a (Ca and Br) is the correct answer. Binary ionic compounds are formed from a metal element and a nonmetal element.
