Sodium reacts with fluorine to make a covalent bond between them.  A covalent bond is formed when there is a mutual sharing of electrons between the two adjacent atoms.

Here, Sodium is metal and fluorine is non-metal. So, the bond between them may be an ionic bond, but as the Sodium has one valence electron and fluorine is highly electronegative. Sodium wants to lose electrons and fluorine wants to gain electrons to form a chemical bond. Therefore, the sodium donates its valence electron to fluorine, forms a cation, and fluorine accepts the electron and forms an anion and they distribute the difference in the charge between them.

So, we can say that when sodium and fluorine react to form sodium fluoride with a covalent bond.

Your feet get hot walking across a beach. which type of heat transfer is occurring from the sand to your feet?
Andrews [41]
The heat transfer just occurred is mainly conduction.

Conduction happens when two objects are in contact with each other. In the hotter object, the molecules and/or free electrons have a higher kinetic energy, thus they'll travel and collide into other molecules, resulting in spreading the energy to the other object.

The heat transfer happens until thermal equilibrium, where both objects have the same temperature and their molecules have the same kinetic energy rate. 

In addition, radiation is also happening since everything that has a higher temperature than the environment is a net emitter. They release electromagnetic waves that turn out to be radiation. These occur even without the presence of air.
