An ionic bond is formed when a metal and a non-metal react. Electrons are transferred during this process.
Magnesium is a metal and Fluorine is not.
So, it forms an ionic bond.
I don't believe there is such thing as a diatomic bond, only diatomic molecules which are 2 atoms of an element (O2, N2, etc)
Metallic bonds are formed between metals.
And in covalent compounds the atoms share the valence electrons.

How do the elements magnesium and fluorine produce the compound magnesium fluoride is by what?
Magnesium and fluorine will produce magnesium fluoride by ionic bonding.
When magnesium (Mg2 ) and fluorine (F1-) combine in an ionic bond the resulting formula will be?
Mg2F
Is magnesium ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium itself is held together by metallic bonds, which are neither ionic nor covalent. Its compounds would tend to have ionic bonds.
Magnesium symbol w ionic charge mg?
Mg, magnesium forms compounds containing Mg2+ ion.
Which element when formed with fluorine creates an ionic compound lithium carbon phosporus or chlorine?
Lithium reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound, LiF. The rest all form covalent compounds
How do the elements magnesium and fluorine produce the compound magnesium fluoride is by what?
Magnesium and fluorine will produce magnesium fluoride by ionic bonding.
When magnesium (Mg2 ) and fluorine (F1-) combine in an ionic bond the resulting formula will be?
Mg2F
Is magnesium and fluorine most likely to form an ionic compound?
Yes. They will form the ionic compound magnesium fluoride, MgF2.
Will magnesium and chlorine form ionic compounds?
Yes. Magnesium and chlorine will form the ionic compound magnesium chloride, MgCl2.
What kind of compound do magnesium and fluorine make?
MgF2, an ionic salt
Is oxygen and magnesium and ionic compound?
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
Are sodium and magnesium are ionic or non ionic?
both are elements. but both form ionic compounds
What kind of bond forms between a fluorine atom and a magnesium atom?
Ionic
Is magnesium ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium itself is held together by metallic bonds, which are neither ionic nor covalent. Its compounds would tend to have ionic bonds.
When magnesium and chlorine react what type of bond is formed?
Magnesium is an s-block element and it forms only ionic bonds with other elements.
Compounds with the greatest ionic character would form when fluorine reacts with?
cesium
What element would form a ionic bond with fluorine?
Many elements can form an ionic bond with fluorine. Metals in groups one and two (such as alkali metals lithium, sodium, potassium, etc. or alkali earth metals like magnesium or calcium) like to form ionic compounds with fluorine. This is because fluorine has an extra electron it wants to give away, and metals in group one and two want another electron to become stable.
