Yes it is an ionic compound. Rubidium(Rb) is the cation with 1+ charge and Fluorine(F) is the anion with 1- charge. They are formed by the donation of one electron from the valence shell of Rubidium to Fluorine and hence they form an ionic bond, which is the electrostatic force of attration between two oppositely charged particles.

∙ 14y agoRbF is an ionic bond because it consists of a metal and a nonmetal. Hope it helps!

∙ 13y agoSince it contains the alkali metal Rb (rubidium) it is ionic. All alkali metal compounds are ionic.

∙ 13y agoNo, RbCl, rubidium chloride is ionic as are all rubidium compounds.

∙ 9y agoIt is an ionic bond. The difference between the electrnegativities of the 2 elements is more than 2.1. So this bond is considered as an ionic bond.

What type of bond does hydrogen and bromine form?
Halogens form both ionic and covalent bonds.
What covalent bonds is the most polar hydrogen and fluorine or hydrogen and nitrogen?
Electronegativity Difference HF = 1.9 = ionic bond HC = 0.4 = nonpolar covalent HH = 0 = nonpolar covalent HN = 0.9 = polar covalent HN is the more polar bond. HF is not polar covalent, it is ionic.
Is the H-F bond polar?
The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is polar covalent.
What is the bond in the diatomic fluorine molecule F2 called and what else the bond in the hydroxide ion OH- is called?
F2 contains a pure covalent bond, with the bondingelectrons pair right in the middle of the F-F bond.But in OH- the bond is polar covalent, with the bondingelectrons pair more attracted to the O atom than to H.pure covalent; polar covalent
What type of bond will form between K and F?
The bond between the metal potassium (K) and the nonmetal fluorine (F) is ionic. During the formation of the ionic compound potassium fluoride (KF), the potassium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, and the fluorine atom gains the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond. In general, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond.
Is F-F ionic or covalent bond?
The F-F bond (in F2) is covalent, and non polar covalent at that.
Is b-f bond covalent?
No, it is not a covalent bond. It is an Ionic bond.
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.
Is ammonium fluoride is ionic or polar covalent bond?
NH4 + and F - Form the ionic bond, NH4F ------
What type of bond does hydrogen and bromine form?
Halogens form both ionic and covalent bonds.
Would Na and F form a polar covalent bond?
No, they would form an ionic bond.
What type of bond will form between of Ca and F?
Ca is a metal. F is a non metal. The bond between a metal and non metal is considered an ionic bond.
Is the electron pair C-F considered ionic?
Typically carbon forms a covalent, not ionic bond.
What type of bond is B-F in BF3?
It consists of polar covalent bonds
Does HF have a polar covalent bond?
yes it is a polar covalent bond. the difference of electronegativities of H and F is 1.9 , it should be an ionic bond but the ratio of atomic sizes of both the atoms is responsible for polar covalent bond.
What is the bond type of HF?
HF (Hydrogen Flouride) is an ionic bond in all states.
What type of bond is F2?
It is a covalent bond. F-F bond is covalent.
