Calcium fluoride is an ionic compound.
Calcium fluoride.
Calcium Fluoride
Fluoride itself is a monatmic ion of the element fluorine. It must be paired with a positive ion to form a compound. The fluoride in toothpaste is sodium fluoride. Some people confuse fluoride with the mineral fluorite (calcium fluoride), which is a compound.
CaF2 is calcium fluoride.

Calcium fluoride, CaF2
CaF2 is calcium fluoride.
Ca+2 F-1 <----- these are the ions and their charges Ca+2 F-1 F-1 <----- the charges have to add up to zero, so two -1 fluorine ions cancel out one +2 calcium ions CaF2 <---- simplify
CaF2, Calcium Fluoride. It is useful in iron smelting
Calcium fluoride is an example of an ionic compound, not a covalent compound. Covalent compounds form between two nonmetals, while ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal.
