it will form a ionic bond
Calcium and fluorine will form an ionic bond.
Ionic
The bonds between calcium and hydroxide in calcium hydroxide are ionic, and the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen are covalent.
No. Calcium and sulfur will form an ionic bond.
In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
