Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) would form an ionic bond. Sodium tends to lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, while chlorine tends to gain an electron. The resulting ions attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming an ionic bond.
The best electron-dot diagram would show ionic bonds with transfer of electrons between atoms, and covalent bonds with sharing of electrons between atoms. Ionic bonds would be represented by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds would be shown as overlapping of electron clouds between atoms.
Purely ionic bonds do not occur because the atoms that give up an electron in such a bond would be left with a positive charge, and those that accept an electron would have a negative charge. This would create an imbalance in charge, leading to the formation of an ionic compound where the atoms are held together by electrostatic attraction.
Not all ionic bonds are oxidation-reduction reactions. Typically, a metal paired with a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. Ex. Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl (aq) these atoms are bonded with an ionic bond *All compounds with ionic bonds also have covalent bonding, but to a lesser degree.
No, two oxygen atoms cannot form an ionic bond. Ionic bonds occur between atoms of different electronegativities, where one atom donates an electron to the other. Since oxygen atoms have similar electronegativities, they tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
The difference in electro-negative between the two atoms is below 0.4. Atoms are both from the nonmetal groups.

it is called IONIC compound
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.

A molecule may consist of atoms of a single chemical element, as with oxygen (O2), or of different elements, as with water (H2O). Atoms and complexes connected by non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds are generally not considered single molecules.
An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would likely form an ionic bond by losing that electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of a positively charged ion.

No, two oxygen atoms cannot form an ionic bond. Ionic bonds occur between atoms of different electronegativities, where one atom donates an electron to the other. Since oxygen atoms have similar electronegativities, they tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Ionic Bonds because to form an ionic bond, carbon would either have to lose or gain 4 electrons, which would take too much energy to do.
The difference in electro-negative between the two atoms is below 0.4. Atoms are both from the nonmetal groups.
No, CF2Cl2 is covalent as the the three elements in it (Carbon, Fluorine, and Chlorine) are all nonmetals. Nonmetals form covalent bonds with one another.
