The bond between carbon and fluorine is covalent. Carbon only forms covalent bonds, in all cases.
The words "covalent" and "ionic" refer to bonds between atoms, and not atoms themselves. If you are referring to O2 and F2, the forms in which we find oxygen and fluorine, respectively, then the bond between the two oxygens is considered to be non-polar and covalent. The same can be said of the bond between the two fluorine atoms in F2. If you are referring to the bonds in the compound formed by oxygen and fluorine, you must first identify that compound. It is OF2, and is named "fluorine oxide". The bonds between the oxygen and fluorine in fluorine oxide are slightly polar and covalent. The determining property is "electronegativity", which you should look up and review. By convention, when the electronegativity difference between atoms is: < about 0.4, the bond between them is non-polar and covalent between about 0.4 - 1.7, then bond between them is polar and covalent > 1.7, then bond between them is ionic.
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
Polar covalent bond. Due to fluorine´s high electronegativity, the bond has a significant dipole moment. This bond is the strongest bond that can be formed in organic chemistry.

covalent bond
maximum number of covalent bonds typically formed by fluorine is 1

Hi there,If i am right the bonds formed between any atoms depend on the satisfaction of Octet rule. So as the fluorine atom has seven electron in the last shell it well be needing one more to complete its octet.So it will share that electron from the other fluorine.. End of the process the answer is definitely ONE COVALENT BONDbetween two fluorine atoms..

No. the electronegativity difference between two fluorine atoms in F2 is zero and hence non-polar covalent bond is formed.
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
it would be "pure" covalent bond. it is pure because the difference in electronegitivity is 0, resulting in a perfectly covalent bond.

covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
Covalent bonds are formed between atoms by sharing electrons between them.
