The bond between the metal potassium (K) and the nonmetal fluorine (F) is ionic. During the formation of the ionic compound potassium fluoride (KF), the potassium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, and the fluorine atom gains the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion. The electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond. In general, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond.

What type of bond does hydrogen and bromine form?
Halogens form both ionic and covalent bonds.
Is the H-F bond polar?
The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is polar covalent.
What is the name for calcium and fluorine when they bond together?
Ca 2+ and F - Bond together to form CaF2 Which is Calcium fluoride -----------------------
What is the type of bond that is present between sodium and fluorine in sodium fluorine which is used in fluoridation of drinking water?
Ionic. The usual rule is that when you have a metal (sodium) and combine it with a nonmetal (fluorine), there is an ionic bond formed.
Why hydrogen chloride does not form hydrogen bond?
According to the definition, to form a hydrogen bond, a bond with hydrogen and another element should have a higher value for electronegativity such as H-N, H-O and H-F. H-Cl does not meet with sufficient polarity to form a hydrogen bond.
What type of bond will form between N plus F?
Natrium azide has an ionic bond.
What type of bond will form between of Ca and F?
Ca is a metal. F is a non metal. The bond between a metal and non metal is considered an ionic bond.
What type of bond will form between atoms of calcium (Ca) and fluorine (F)?
Ionic bond, as the difference in electronegativity between calcium and fluorine is over 1.7
What type of bond forms between K and F?
The bond between K (potassium) and F (fluorine) to make KF is an IONIC bond.
What type of bond does Cl and F have?
The bond between F and Cl is a polar covalent bond. Fluorine is very electronegative and Cl is not as much. The difference is large enough to be considered polar.
What type of bond does hydrogen and bromine form?
Halogens form both ionic and covalent bonds.
What type of bond does f-f have?
the bond between f-f is covalent as both share electrons.and they dont have much electronegativity difference.
What type of bond does Cl and Cl have?
Cl and F form ionic bond when they combine with metals and form covalent bond when combined with non-metals.
What type of bond is formed between Mg and F?
MgO is an ionic compound.
What type of bond is F2?
It is a covalent bond. F-F bond is covalent.
What Ionic bond would form between F and CA?
CaF2 Calcium fluoride
What type of bond would be formed between O and F?
Helium will not bond with fluorine or any other element.
