Which has lower electron affinity between oxygen and fluorine?
This element is fluorine.
Is the bond between fluorine and chlorine nonpolar covalent?
The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and for fluorine it is 3.98. The difference in electronegativities is 0.54, so the bond between fluorine and oxygen is polar covalent.
How does fluorine's electronegativity compare to the electronegativity of oxygen and chlorine?
Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and chlorine. There are many scales used to measure electronegativity. Each is different. Oxygen and chlorine usually have an electronegativity value between 3.2 and 3.5 depending on the scale. Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4, the highest number on the scale. This means that the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen or chlorine is between 0.5 and 0.8 depending on the scale. This is the amount necessary to form a polar covalent bond.
Why oxygen forms positive charge with fluorine?
Because fluorine has greater electronegativity than oxygen.
Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen?
Yes it is more electro negative. F has the highest electro negativity

Why can't an ionic bond form between fluorine and oxygen?
ionic bond cant form between oxygen and fluorine because ionic bond happen between one metal and one non metal and these both are non metals so covalent boding will happen between these fluorine and oxygen.
Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.

A hydrogen bond forms between molecules that contain hydrogen bonded to?
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Fluorine

Yes it is more electro negative. F has the highest electro negativity
Is O and F considered covalent ionic or neither?
The words "covalent" and "ionic" refer to bonds between atoms, and not atoms themselves. If you are referring to O2 and F2, the forms in which we find oxygen and fluorine, respectively, then the bond between the two oxygens is considered to be non-polar and covalent. The same can be said of the bond between the two fluorine atoms in F2. If you are referring to the bonds in the compound formed by oxygen and fluorine, you must first identify that compound. It is OF2, and is named "fluorine oxide". The bonds between the oxygen and fluorine in fluorine oxide are slightly polar and covalent. The determining property is "electronegativity", which you should look up and review. By convention, when the electronegativity difference between atoms is: < about 0.4, the bond between them is non-polar and covalent between about 0.4 - 1.7, then bond between them is polar and covalent > 1.7, then bond between them is ionic.
Is 0-F polar or non polar?
the Oxygen-Fluorine bond is polar, as the fluorine is more electronegative than the Oxygen, the Fluorine would be the negative side
How does fluorine's electronegativity compare to the electronegativigty of oxygen and chlorine?
Fluorine has the highest electronegativity among the three elements. Oxygen is the second most electronegative, while chlorine has a slightly lower electronegativity compared to both fluorine and oxygen.
How fluorine reacts with cold water?
fluorine reacts with water veryviciously the chemical equation for it is fluorine + oxygen = fluorine oxide
