Can you get an ionic bonding from fluorine and fluorine?

The bond is covalent. Two atoms of the same element will never form an ionic bond with each other.

The compound formed when Fluorine and Sodium reacts, Sodium Fluoride, is ionic. Ionic compounds are formed when a non-metal, such as Fluorine, reacts with a metal, such as Sodium.

Lets start by quickly defining a ionic bond, it is a bond between a metal atom and a non-metal atom, in which electron are transferred. In this case we have Lithium (Li) a metal and Florien (F) a...

SrF2.

Elemental fluorine usually can be obtained only as diatomic molecules, and such molecules are covalently bonded. However, in the presence of other elements, fluorine forms anions more readily than...
