Yes
P4 is not a compound, it is an allotrope (form of a pure element) of phosphorus consisting of covalently bonded atoms.
Sodium combines with phosphorus to form sodium phosphide (Na3P) which is an ionic compound.
Be3P2 Is an ionic compound made up of the group II metal beryllium, a cation is this compound and the nonmetal phosphorus, an anion is this compound. Be 2+ and P 3- combine ionicly to form Be3P2
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
As the electronegativity difference between phosphorus and fluorine is less than 1.7 according to Pauling's Scale, they cannot form an ionic bond.

When positive ions and negative ions are nearby they are attracted and pair up building an Ionic Crystal.
yes it will form an ionic compound.
No it forms Mg2+, a positive ion, as it is in group 2.
PO43-
A cation is a positive ion and an anion is a negative ion. So the compound you are describing as an ionic one. For example, Cation + Anion --> Ionic Compound Fe3++ O2- --> Fe2O3
Combination of a metal with a non metal will form an ionic compound.
