The bond in lithium fluoride is ionic and the compound is polar.
The crystalline structure is face-cenered cubic.
An ionic compound, lithium fluoride.
Ionic bonding---with such different electronegativities it would be hard for lithium and fluorine to share electrons in a covalent bond. It is far more energetically favorable for the lithium atom to transfer an electron to fluorine to form Li+ and F- and then have those two hook up to form an ionic bond.
whats type of bond dose lithium normally form?
Ionic bond, as the difference in electronegativity between calcium and fluorine is over 1.7
A hydrogen bond is the strongest type of intermolecular forces. It occurs whenever there is a bond between hydrogen and either fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen.
The C-F bonds in CF4 are single covalent bonds with a slight negative charge at the F end and a slight positive charge at the C end. The central carbon forms one bond with each fluorine.

Ionic bond in lithium fluoride.
Fluorine seems a likely answer
Covalent bond
whats type of bond dose lithium normally form?
Nonpolar covalent.
The bond between K (potassium) and F (fluorine) to make KF is an IONIC bond.
fluorine and silicon form a perdominately ionic bond. fluorine is a nonmetal and silicon is a metal.
A hydrogen bond is a type of chemical bond. A hydrogen atom bonds with either a nitrogen, fluorine, or oxygen atom to make a weak bond.
