Question

which is most likely a covalent compound?
cf₄
cuf₂
kcl
nacl

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Covalent compounds are formed when atoms share electrons. In \(CF_4\), carbon (non - metal) and fluorine (non - metal) share electrons. \(CuF_2\), \(KCl\), and \(NaCl\) are ionic compounds. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non - metal. Copper (\(Cu\)), potassium (\(K\)), and sodium (\(Na\)) are metals, while fluorine (\(F\)) and chlorine (\(Cl\)) are non - metals.

Answer:

CF₄
