How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Explain why hydrogen will form an ionic bond with fluorine but only forms covalent bonds with carbon?
because of the electronegativity
Will fluorine atoms form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
Compare the ways in which the elements sodium and carbon form chemical bonds.?
Sodium forms ionic bonds. Carbon forms covalent bonds.
Does oxygen and chlorine form an ionic bond?
No, Oxygen forms covalent bonds
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
Carbon forms covalent bonds with fluorine.
Does fluorine usually form ionic or covalent bonds?
Fluorine's bonds are technically covalent, but it is such a strongly electron withdrawing group that for all intents and purposes its bonds can be considered ionic.

Is rubidium ionic or covalent?
Rubidium by itself is neither ionic nor covalent. When it forms bonds with other elements, it forms ionic bonds.
What happens when fluorine bonds with another element?
It forms the fluoride by forming an ionic or covalent bond with the element.Example:-HF(hydrogen fluoride) which if an ionic compound.OF2(Oxygen difluoride) which is a covalent compound
Na2O ionic or covalent?
It is ionic.
Is carbon and fluorine ionic?
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
Is carbon likely to make covalent bonds or ionic bonds?
Carbon typically forms covalent bonds. It is rare for it to form ionic bonds.
Is rubidium fluoride a nonpolar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
Rubidium by itself is neither ionic nor covalent. When it forms bonds with other elements, it forms ionic bonds.
Is f2o ionic or covalent?
It is an IONIC compound as it involves 2 non-metals.
