A fluorine atom has seven valence electrons. ... Carbon will then have five valence electrons (its four and the one its sharing with fluorine). Covalently sharing two electrons is also known as a “single bond.” Carbon will have to form four single bonds with four different fluorine atoms to fill its octet.

Ionic compounds are the combination of two elements, one of which is a metal, while the other is a nonmetal. The intermolecular forces binding them is called an ionic bond. To name an ionic compound, take the name of the metal element first, followed by the nonmetal, but adding the suffix -ide. For example, NaCl is named as sodium chloride.
