Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion

Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?

It is unlikely for an ionic compound to form between fluorine and carbon because both elements are nonmetals with similar electronegativities. It is more common for covalent compounds to form between nonmetals like fluorine and carbon.


Is cF4 is an ionic?

no its is not :)


Which element when formed with fluorine creates an ionic compound lithium carbon phosporus or chlorine?

Lithium reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound, LiF. The rest all form covalent compounds


Is an ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?

Assuming that "flourine" is intended to be "fluorine", the answer is no. Both carbon and fluorine are unlikely to be electron donors and therefore form a covalent bond instead, so that both of these non metals can share electrons.


Is carbon tatrafluoride ionic or covalent?

Carbon tetrafluoride, CF4 is covalent. It has four fluorine atoms arranged at the vertices (points) of a tetrahedron around a central carbon atom.


Is carbon tetrafluoride molecular or ionic?

Carbon tetrafluoride is a molecular compound. It consists of covalent bonds between carbon and fluorine atoms, leading to the formation of a molecular structure.


Is cf4 ionic compound?

No, CF4 is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound, as it is formed by sharing electrons between the carbon and fluorine atoms rather than transferring them to form ions.


Is C-F polar or ionic?

C-F bonds are polar since there is a difference in electronegativity between carbon and fluorine atoms which results in an uneven distribution of electron density. They are not ionic because the electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is not large enough to cause a full transfer of electrons from one atom to another.


Which element would fluorine form an ionic bond with?

All of the metallic elements will form an ionic bond with fluorine.


Is the bond between fluorine and calcium ionic or covalent?

Ionic


Is lithium and fluorine ionic or covalent?

The bond between lithium and fluorine is ionic. Lithium typically donates its electron to fluorine, resulting in the formation of Li+ and F- ions, which are held together by electrostatic attractions.


Is the compound carbon fluoride covalent or ionic?

The compound carbon fluoride is a covalent compound. This is because carbon and fluorine are nonmetals that share electrons to form a bond. Ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred rather than shared.
