When a reaction occurs between atoms with ground state electron configuration 1s2 2s1 and 1s2 2s2 2p5 the predominant type of bond formed is

The bond formed between the elements will be ionic bond.

Explanation: We are given two elements having electronic configurations:

Element 1:

Element 2:

Element 1 can easily loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and Element 2 can accept 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

For these elements, there will be a complete transfer of electron from Element 1 to Element 2. Hence, this will form a ionic bond.

From the configuration, Element 1 is Lithium and Element 2 is Fluoride. So, the compound is LiF.

um i think it might be a car?
