Is fluorine and iodine a most likely pair to form a ionic compound?

No, they are both halogens and nonmetals with a electronegativity too close together to form an ionic bond. They, if ever bonded, would form a covalent, or polar covalent bond.

Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine?
no
Why is the iodine fluorine bond ionic?
It is not ionic, it is covalent.
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
What pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound Mg and F or O and Cl?
magnesium and fluorine will formthe ionic compound, MgF2
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely from an ionic compound?
The single "most likely" element that would form an ionic compound with fluorine is cesium, or possibly francium if enough of it could be collected. This is because cesium, among stable elements, has the lowest electronegativity and fluorine has the highest electronegativity. However, any alkali or alkaline earth metal element in fact readily forms an ionic compound with fluorine, as do many other metals.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine?
no
What element is most likely to form an ionic compound with Ba?
Fluorine
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and lithium?
yes
Why is the iodine fluorine bond ionic?
It is not ionic, it is covalent.
Is magnesium and fluorine most likely to form an ionic compound?
Yes. They will form the ionic compound magnesium fluoride, MgF2.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
Carbon forms covalent bonds with fluorine.
Is iodine likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine?
No, they are both halides.
Is Fluorine a ionic or molecular compound?
Fluorine is molecular, but it is an element, not a compound.
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
What pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound Mg and F or O and Cl?
magnesium and fluorine will formthe ionic compound, MgF2
What is the ionic compound for iodine and aluminum i?
It is AlI3 compound. But it is not ionic.
What element will bond to form an ionic compound with K?
Potassium will form ionic compound with group 17 elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) and group 16 elements (oxygen, sulphur, selenium).
