Oxygen and fluorine can form two different molecules. One is oxygen difluoride (OF2), and the other is dioxygen difluoride (O2F2).

How would you determine the difference between an ionic and covalent compound from its chemical formula?
it depends if the formula. it is ionic if the bonds are formed between nonmetal and metals.
Is nicotine ionic or covalent?
Basically Nicotine is bonding of 2 molecules. The bond in between these two molecule is very weak and so it is IONIC.
What type of bond forms when two atoms of nitrogen going to form a nitrogen molecule when two atoms of oxygen join form on oxygen?
Nitrogen and Oxygen being both nonmetals, they would form a covalent bond between the two.
What is the difference dipole and covalent?
Dipole means that there's an uneven distribution of electrons in a molecule; this usually occurs when you've a molecule with atoms of very different electronegativities. Covalent describes bonds that have electrons shared between atoms. The opposite of this would be ionic, where one atom takes electrons from another atom.
What is the smallest particle of a covalent compound that has the property of that compound?
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
Would ionic or covalent molecules use the molecular formula or empirical formula?
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.

What is the formula for carbon and chlorine?
the chemical formula for carbon is C and for chlorine is Cl.

WHAT IS emparical formula?
The simplest ratio of atoms in a molecule i.e. if a molecule had molecular formula C2H6 Its empirical formula would be CH3

Does water have a higher than expected boiling point because of hydrogen and oxygen forming a single covalent bond?
Water has a higher boiling point than would be expected for a covalent compound of that molecular weight, because the water molecule is highly polar, and forms what are known as coordinate covalent bonds between water molecules. The polarity of the water molecule is the result of its shape, not the result of the single covalent bond that exists between the oxygen atom and each of the two hydrogen atoms.
What is the bond called when a pair of electrons is shared equally between two atoms?
This is a covalent bond. If the electron were taken by one or the other atom, it would be an ionic bond. A covalent bond in which the electron(s) spend(s) more time near one or the other atom is a polar covalent bond.
Would sulfur hexafluoride be classified as an ionic compound?
Sulfur hexafluoride has covalent bonds.
Is the charge on a diatomic molecule called the oxidation number?
No. The oxidation number is the charge on the atom of an element, or if the bonding is covalent, what that charge would be if that bonding were ionic. A "molecule" with an electrical charge would be a polyatomic ion, not a molecule.
