Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Most Likely Ion for Fluorine

Fluorine typically gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming the ion $\mathrm{F}^{-}$.

Step 2: Identify the Most Likely Ion for Sulfur

Sulfur typically gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming the ion $\mathrm{S}^{2-}$.

Step 3: Determine the Type of Ion for Fluorine and Sulfur

Both fluorine and sulfur form anions when they gain electrons.

Final Answer

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{element} & \text{symbol of ion} & \text{type of ion} \\ \hline \text{scandium} & \mathrm{Sc}^{3+} & \text{cation} \\ \hline \text{magnesium} & \mathrm{Mg}^{2+} & \text{cation} \\ \hline \text{lithium} & \mathrm{Li}^{+} & \text{cation} \\ \hline \text{fluorine} & \mathrm{F}^{-} & \text{anion} \\ \hline \text{sulfur} & \mathrm{S}^{2-} & \text{anion} \\ \hline \end{array} \]
