with bromine (Br)
The group 2 elements are most likely to ionize by losing two electrons, becomings cations with a 2+ charge.
Those on opposite sides of the periodic table (ignoring the noble gases of course). Like sodium and cloride (to make table salt).
Among the naturally occurring elements, the most likely one would be cesium, the least electronegative of all elements. In practice, any of the other alkali metals and any of the alkaline earth metals would usually react readily with chlorine gas, as would many of the transition metals.
Be+2 Be has 2 valence electrons. In order to have a noble gas configuration, Be has to lose those electrons. When it does lose those 2 electrons, it would become a cation with a charge of +2
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.
Be + F2 --> BeF2---------------------The ionic compound beryllium fluoride.

Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
All of the metallic elements will form an ionic bond with fluorine.

Beryllium is used especially for rocket nozzles.
Ionic solids most likely dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent.
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.
BeBr2 , as a compound of Beryllium (Be) as a formal Be2+ and Bromine (Br) as a bromide ion (Br-)would be referred to as Beryllium Bromide. There is no requirement to call it beryllium dibromide, as beryllium only exhibits 2+ cations under normal conditions, so the only realistic compound of these elements is BeBr2.
All you have to do is look at which group Beryllium is in and look at the other elements that are in the same column. The gruop of an element can help you determine its chemical properties. That group would be Group 2 with Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.
Covalent. Be is highly electronegative to form ionic bonds.
