    Yes

    Explanation:

    Electronegativity value of Flourine (F) = 3.98

    Electronegativity value of Sodium (Na) = 0.93

    Electronegativity difference = 3.98 - 0.93 = 3.05

    Since the electronegativity difference is greater than 1.5, it means the bond formed would be an ionic bond.

    Yes. They will form an ionic bond.

    Explanation:

    Electronegativity of fluorine is 4 and of sodium is 0.9 so

    the difference is 4 - 0.9 = 3.1.
