Because fluorine has greater electronegativity than oxygen.
Oxygen typically has a negative charge when it forms ions, such as in the case of the oxide ion (O2-). In its neutral state, oxygen atoms do not have a net charge.
No, fluorine forms a negatively charged ion, F-. Like all non metals, fluorine tends to acquire electrons, and thereby acquires an added negative charge.
When fluorine forms an ion, it gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, becoming a fluoride ion with a charge of -1.
Calcium and Magnesium can become cations with positive oxidation states. Calcium commonly forms Ca2+ ions, while Magnesium typically forms Mg2+ ions. Oxygen and Fluorine are nonmetals and usually gain electrons to form anions with negative oxidation states.
A hydrogen bond is individually the weakest type of bond. It forms between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine) in a molecule, creating a partially positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partially negative charge on the other atom.

No, fluorine forms a negatively charged ion, F-. Like all non metals, fluorine tends to acquire electrons, and thereby acquires an added negative charge.
Hydrogen forms positive ions.

No, hydrogen fluoride (HF) does not have a single covalent bond. It forms a polar covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine atoms, where electrons are shared unevenly due to fluorine's higher electronegativity. This results in a slightly positive charge on hydrogen and a slightly negative charge on fluorine.
The elements in Group 1A all form ion with one positive charge. This group is collectively knows as the Alkali metals. They are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. Hydrogen ions also can have a positive one charge, but it may, as easily, have a negative one charge.
The C-F bonds in CF4 are single covalent bonds with a slight negative charge at the F end and a slight positive charge at the C end. The central carbon forms one bond with each fluorine.
Fluorine typically forms covalent bonds, oxygen forms both ionic and covalent bonds, and nitrogen forms mostly covalent bonds. Therefore, depending on the specific compound or molecule being formed, various types of bonds (covalent, ionic, or a combination) can be present between fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen.
more likely to be pulled towards the fluorine atom. This results in a polar covalent bond, with the fluorine atom having a partial negative charge and the other element having a partial positive charge.
Hypo fluorite O-F is not possible because the electronegativity of fluorine is higher than oxygen and oxygen with fluorine should be positive , if oxygen is positive then hydrogen or any other positive ion can not attached to oxygen so hypfluorite is not possible.
