Fluorine's bonds are technically covalent, but it is such a strongly electron withdrawing group that for all intents and purposes its bonds can be considered ionic.

Is Mg3P2 ionic or covalent?
It's ionic. Ionic bonds usually occur when its a bond between a metal, which in this case is the Magnesium (Mg) and a non-metal, Fluorine.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
Carbon forms covalent bonds with fluorine.
Does plutonium usually form ionic covalent or polar covalent bonds?
As a metal plutonium has metallic bonds. Salts of Pu have ionic bonds.
Are ionic covalent and hydrogen bonds all types of molecular bonds?
Covalent bonds form molecules where ionic bonds form ionic lattices. Hydrogen bonds are a form of intermolecular bonds which are formed with the participation of polar hydrogen atoms which are attached to either nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
What type of bond is very hard and brittle?
ionic bonds
Does fluorine forms ionic or covalent bonds?
Fluorine forms both ionic bonds and covalent bonds, the former being more common.
How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
How many valence electrons in a fluorine atom will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain.?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
What type of reaction would be faster one involving covalent or ionic bonds?
If all the bonds involved in the reaction are ionic, the reaction occurs in solution, and no new covalent bonds need to be formed, the reaction would usually be faster than an average reaction that requires breaking covalent bonds. However, there are many exceptions. For example, reactions of elemental fluorine with almost anything else, which require breaking of fluorine to fluorine covalent bonds, are usually very fast.

Does plutonium usually form ionic covalent or polar covalent bonds?
As a metal plutonium has metallic bonds. Salts of Pu have ionic bonds.
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.
Are ionic covalent and hydrogen bonds all types of molecular bonds?
Covalent bonds form molecules where ionic bonds form ionic lattices. Hydrogen bonds are a form of intermolecular bonds which are formed with the participation of polar hydrogen atoms which are attached to either nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
What type of bond is very hard and brittle?
ionic bonds
Will fluorine atoms form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
Will an ionic or covalent bond form between lithium and fluorine atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds form between a non-metal and a non-metal, while ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal. Lithium is a metal and fluorine is a non-metal.
