Two fluorine atoms can not form a compound they simply form a [molecule] <~ of fluorine gas. if you are using apex this could be an answer
This is a covalent compound.
A fluorine atom forms a covalent bond with another fluorine atom to produce the fluorine molecule which is gaseous at room temperature.
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
The compound name of a sulfur atom and six fluorine atoms that share electrons is Sulfur hexafluoride.
Hi there,If i am right the bonds formed between any atoms depend on the satisfaction of Octet rule. So as the fluorine atom has seven electron in the last shell it well be needing one more to complete its octet.So it will share that electron from the other fluorine.. End of the process the answer is definitely ONE COVALENT BONDbetween two fluorine atoms..
It would not be a compound. It is simply fluorine in its elemental form.
Yes, as there are no metals in this compound.
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: < 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 > 1.7, then bond between them is ionic.
MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond
Covalent. The bond is polar due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.
This is a covalent compound.
Polar covalent bond.
A covalent compound
Atoms in a covalent compound share the electrons.
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.
Fluorine's electronegativity is 3.98. The difference between two fluorine atoms is 0, so the bond between two fluorine atoms is nonpolar covalent.
It is an IONIC compound as it involves 2 non-metals.
