II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
and
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
will form covalent bonds, so the answer will be:
e. II and III
Explanation:
To know is what type of bond is formed between atoms we need to look at the electronegativity difference between the atoms.
If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 there is a nonpolar covalent bond.
If the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.8 there is a polar covalent bond. (if is a metal involved we consider the bond to be ionic)
If the electronegativity difference is greater then 1.8 there is an ionic bond.
We have the following cases:
I. lithium (Li) and sulfur (S)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 1 (Li) = 1.5 but because there is a metal involved the bond will be ionic
II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 2.5 (C) = 0 so the bond will be nonpolar covalent
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
electronegativity difference = 4 (F) - 3.5 (O) = 0.5 so the bond will be polar covalent bond.

It is B, because it is an eclipse.
When the electron absorbs a photon it goes from a lower energy state to a higher one.
The goal of an element is to obtain a noble gas configuration (obtaining a full valence shell). Therefore, certain elements will either gain or lose electrons in order to obtain this full valence shell. In the case of sodium chloride, it is easy for sodium (having one valence electron) to give up its one electron. Chlorine (having seven valence electrons) wants sodium’s electron because it completes its outer shell and chlorine obtains this noble gas configuration. Ionic bonds always involve a transfer of electrons.
