2. Complete the inequality by choosing the inequality sign which makes the expression true: \[ 2^{4} \] \[ 3^{2} \]

Step 1 ：Calculate the value of \(2^{4}\) which is 16

Step 2 ：Calculate the value of \(3^{2}\) which is 9

Step 3 ：Compare the two values, 16 is greater than 9

Step 4 ：So, the correct inequality sign that makes the expression true is \(\boxed{>}\)
