Is CaF2 a ionic compound?

if ∆EN < 0.5, the substances is non polar covalent if 0.5 < ∆EN < 1.5 the substance is polar covalent. if 1.5 < ∆EN < 2.0 and it contains a metal, it is ionic, otherwise it is polar covalent if 2.0 < ∆EN then the substance is ionic CaF2 (calcium fluoride) has a ∆EN of 2.98.. so, it is definitely ionic Cancel


What is the formula of calcium fluoride?

The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.
