Toothpaste typically contains a variety of compounds, but the key active ingredient is fluoride, which forms an ionic bond with the sodium fluoride in toothpaste. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another. In this case, fluoride is a nonmetal and sodium is a metal, resulting in an ionic bond in toothpaste.
