What is a compound called if there two fluorine atoms form a compound with a covalent bond?

It would not be a compound. It is simply fluorine in its elemental form.


Is CH3F covalent?

Yes, as there are no metals in this compound.


Is O and F considered covalent ionic or neither?

The words "covalent" and "ionic" refer to bonds between atoms, and not atoms themselves. If you are referring to O2 and F2, the forms in which we find oxygen and fluorine, respectively, then the bond between the two oxygens is considered to be non-polar and covalent. The same can be said of the bond between the two fluorine atoms in F2. If you are referring to the bonds in the compound formed by oxygen and fluorine, you must first identify that compound. It is OF2, and is named "fluorine oxide". The bonds between the oxygen and fluorine in fluorine oxide are slightly polar and covalent. The determining property is "electronegativity", which you should look up and review. By convention, when the electronegativity difference between atoms is: &lt; about 0.4, the bond between them is non-polar and covalent between about 0.4 - 1.7, then bond between them is polar and covalent &gt; 1.7, then bond between them is ionic.


Is MgF an ionic compound or a covalent compound?

MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond


What type of bond is formed between the two atoms in the compound HF?

Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.


When two or more atoms bond covalently to form a neutral compound the compound is called...?

This is a covalent compound.


Does covalent hold hydrogen and fluorine atoms together?

Polar covalent bond.


What compound is made of atoms joined by covalent bonds?

A covalent compound


What is the meaning of covalent compound?

Atoms in a covalent compound share the electrons.


What bond type does fluorine have?

Fluorine atoms have a covalent bond between each other to form a covalent molecule. Fluorine bonded to a metal will have ionic bonds. Fluorine bonded to a non-meatl will have polar covalent bonding.


What type of bonds form between fluorine and fluorine?

Fluorine's electronegativity is 3.98. The difference between two fluorine atoms is 0, so the bond between two fluorine atoms is nonpolar covalent.


Is f2o ionic or covalent?

It is an IONIC compound as it involves 2 non-metals.
