Final answer:

The elements lithium and fluorine are most likely to form an ionic bond due to their electron behavior and charge attraction.


Explanation:

The pair of elements most likely to form an ionic bond is lithium and fluorine. In ionic bonding, one element loses electrons (cation) while the other gains electrons (anion). Lithium, a metal, easily loses an electron to form a positive ion, and fluorine, a nonmetal, readily accepts an electron to become a negative ion, creating an ionic bond due to the attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
