Will magnesium and fluorine atoms most likely form an ionic bond or a covalent bond?

Magnesium and fluorine atoms most likely form an ionic bond.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when a metal and a nonmetal react. There is a transfer of electrons. Magnesium has a charge of 2+ and Fluorine has a charge of -1so by transferring of electrons it becomes And we know magnesium is a metal and fluorine is a non metal. When they both react, they form an ionic bond.

Whereas in covalent bond, there is a sharing of electrons and it is most of the time between two nonmetals.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
