Fluoride is the ion of fluorine, which is a nonmetal.
The terms metal and non-metal are usually applied to the elements. Hydrogen fluoride is a covalent gas- it is a chemical compound.
CsF (Cesium fluoride) forms an ionic bond. Cesium is a metal and fluoride is a nonmetal, which results in the transfer of electrons from cesium to fluoride, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Beryllium fluoride is an ionic compound. Beryllium, a metal, forms cations while fluoride, a nonmetal, forms anions, resulting in a transfer of electrons and the formation of ionic bonds.
No, calcium fluoride is an ionic compound. It is composed of a metal (calcium) and a nonmetal (fluorine), which typically form ionic bonds. Covalent compounds are formed between two nonmetals.
Cadmium fluoride is an ionic compound. Cadmium, a metal, donates electrons to fluorine, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between the two elements.

Yes, potassium fluoride (KF) is a covalent compound. Potassium is a metal and fluoride is a nonmetal, so they bond covalently by sharing electrons to form a stable molecule.
Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound. Sodium is a metal that donates an electron, and fluoride is a nonmetal that accepts the electron to form a stable ionic bond.
Fluoride is an ion formed by the nonmetal fluorine.
Magnesium chloride is a chemical compound and is therefore not a metal. It is ionic and is not metallic in its properties. Non-metal usually refers to elements.
Chlorine fluoride is a molecular compound. It consists of covalent bonds between the chlorine and fluorine atoms, rather than ionic bonds typically found in compounds composed of a metal and a nonmetal.
Potassium fluoride only contains the elements potassium and fluorine. Potassium is an alkali metal. Fluorine is a halogen, which is a type of nonmetal.
Fluoride itself is just the ion of the nonmetal fluorine. To form a substance it must be combined with a positive ion. In most cases, but not all, this positive ion is a metal. In most dental products contain sodium fluoride, sodium being a metal. Fluoride is sometimes confused with the mineral fluorite, which is calcium fluoride. Calcium is also a metal.
