Is BaF2 a ionic or covalent bond?

BaF2 is an ionic compound composed of a metal (Ba) and a non-metal (F). The bond between Ba and F in BaF2 is considered ionic because the electronegativity difference between Ba and F is large enough for Ba to donate electrons to F, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.


What is the formula for the ionic compound formed by Barium ion and fluorine ion?

BaF2


What type of bond is BaF2?

BaF2 is an ionic bond. Barium (Ba) is a metal, while fluorine (F) is a nonmetal. When they combine, barium loses electrons to fluorine, resulting in the formation of positively charged barium ions and negatively charged fluoride ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.


What does the formula BaF2 tell you about this compound?

Some basic information that I'm able to get from the formula BaF2 are: 1) The compound is composed of two different elements, Barium and Fluorine in the ratio of 1:2 2) Barium is a metal and Fluorine is a non-metal therefore BaF2 is formed by ionic bondings and it's an ionic compound 3) Barium donates one electron EACH to two Fluorine and the ions are Ba2+ and 2F- 4) BaF2 is a salt (metal + non-metal) 5) BaF2 has a giant lattice structure
