Fluorine by itself is an element. An ionic bond is formed between the attraction of two ions with opposite charges (positive/negative). For Example- NaCl sodium chloride(table salt) Sodium is positively charged and Chlorine is negatively charged. In Covalent bonds, the compound is made by two atoms sharing their valance electrons, or the electrons in the outermost ring, For example H2O(water). There are Two Hydrogen atoms (Hydrogen is in the first group therefor has 1 valance electron) plus one Oxegyn Atom (Oxegyn is found in group eight therfor has 6 valance electrons) They want to have a full outer ring (eight electrons) so this compound works.

∙ 13y agoElemental fluorine usually can be obtained only as diatomic molecules, and such molecules are covalently bonded. However, in the presence of other elements, fluorine forms anions more readily than any other element, so that most inorganic fluorine compounds are ionic. Fluorine also forms covalent bonds with carbon, hydrogen, and the other halogens.

Why is the iodine fluorine bond ionic?
It is not ionic, it is covalent.
Is potassium atom and a fluorine atom is covalent or ionic bond?
Potassium and fluorine will form an ionic bond
Why can't an ionic bond form between fluorine and oxygen?
ionic bond cant form between oxygen and fluorine because ionic bond happen between one metal and one non metal and these both are non metals so covalent boding will happen between these fluorine and oxygen.
Will fluorine atoms form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
Explain why hydrogen will form an ionic bond with fluorine but only forms covalent bonds with carbon?
because of the electronegativity
Why is the iodine fluorine bond ionic?
It is not ionic, it is covalent.
Is potassium atom and a fluorine atom is covalent or ionic bond?
Potassium and fluorine will form an ionic bond
Is the bond between fluorine and calcium ionic or covalent?
Ionic
Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
What type of bond does hydrogen and fluorine make?
Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.
Is calcium fluoride a covalent bond?
Calcium and fluorine will form an ionic bond.
What bond type does fluorine have?
Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.
Will fluorine atoms bond?
Yes it will form ionic bond (as in NaF or MgF2) or covalent bond as in F2 or ClF3)
What type of bond does Cl and F have?
The bond between F and Cl is a polar covalent bond. Fluorine is very electronegative and Cl is not as much. The difference is large enough to be considered polar.
The electronegativity value for Cesium is 0period7 the value for fluorine is 4 period 0 is the bond formed by combining what A polar covalent B covalent or C ionic?
ionic bond
Is MgF2 a nonpolar covalent bond?
MgF2 isn't a covalent bond; it is an ionic bond. Magnesium is a metal and Fluorine is a nonmetal, so there is a complete transfer of electrons.
Are fluorine and sodium are ionic or non ionic?
A bond between fluorine and sodium would be covalent (non-ionic), as they are both nonmetals, and the difference in their electronegativities is less than 1.7.
