if ∆EN < 0.5, the substances is non polar covalent
if 0.5 < ∆EN < 1.5 the substance is polar covalent.
if 1.5 < ∆EN < 2.0 and it contains a metal, it is ionic, otherwise it is polar covalent
if 2.0 < ∆EN then the substance is ionic
CaF2 (calcium fluoride) has a ∆EN of 2.98.. so, it is definitely ionic

ionic
What is the name of the compound ionic bond of calcium and fluorine?
CaF2, Calcium Fluoride. It is useful in iron smelting
What is the formula of calcium fluoride?
The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.
Is fluorite a compound or element?
Fluorite is a compound, CaF2.
