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.
A bond between fluorine and sodium would be covalent (non-ionic), as they are both nonmetals, and the difference in their electronegativities is less than 1.7.
A bond between fluorine and sodium would be covalent (non-ionic), as they are both nonmetals, and the difference in their electronegativities is less than 1.7.
Lithium and fluorine would form the ionic compound lithium fluoride, LiF. The lithium atoms would form positively charged ions and the fluorine atoms would form negatively charged fluoride ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
Any metallic element will form an ionic compound with fluorine. ("Flourine" is not a chemical name!) Examples of metals are sodium, magnesium, lanthanum, and iron.
All of the metallic elements will form an ionic bond with fluorine.
The single "most likely" element that would form an ionic compound with fluorine is cesium, or possibly francium if enough of it could be collected. This is because cesium, among stable elements, has the lowest electronegativity and fluorine has the highest electronegativity. However, any alkali or alkaline earth metal element in fact readily forms an ionic compound with fluorine, as do many other metals.
All the alkali and alkaline earth metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr, Ra, Ba, Sr, Ca, Mg, and Be. Most other metals would also form an ionic compound with fluorine.

Many elements can form an ionic bond with fluorine. Metals in groups one and two (such as alkali metals lithium, sodium, potassium, etc. or alkali earth metals like magnesium or calcium) like to form ionic compounds with fluorine. This is because fluorine has an extra electron it wants to give away, and metals in group one and two want another electron to become stable.
If fluorine combines with an element such that their electronegativity difference is more than 1.7, then they will form an ionic compound. Example:- Hydrogen fluoride is an ionic compound. Hydrogen has electronegativity of 2.1 and fluorine has 4.0. So, the difference is 1.9. Therefore, it is an ionic compound.

no ionic strontium is a metal and flourine is a nonmetal
