Answer 2

Hmm, all of them except the noble gas (Ne). All K, Cl, and F have charges that are easily bonded with metals or non metals. Ne on the other hand has a full shell that makes it highly non-reactive (hence it's 0 net charge by default)

Answer 3

I can only choose two

Answer 4

and how can I figure out which once are likely part of an ionic bond for future questions?

Answer 5

Whoops, made a mistake. It CAN'T be Cl2 as that's already a covalent bond as two chlorine's combine and they are both non metals.

Answer 6

so K and F

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8
