Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the Ionic bond
An ionic compound is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one species to another.
Generally an ionic compound is formed by combination of metal and non-metal.
The chemical formula of an ionic compound is formed by criss-crossing the valencies of ions.
Strontium and cesium are both metals. So the above two elements can not form an ionic bond.
Oxygen and chlorine are both non-metals. So the above two elements can not form an ionic bond.
Fluorine is a non-metal and Lithium is a metal and the above two elements form an ionic bond.
Magnesium is a metal and bromine is a non-metal and the above two elements form an ionic bond.
