Because in a Belstein test, the copper halide should be able to volatilize to produce green flame, an indication that a halogen is present in the compound. Copper fluoride is not volatile., hence this kind of test is not suitable for the detection of fluorine.

When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?

Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
