Answer: Ionic

Explanation: Boron trifluoride, BF No. The boron has formed the maximum number of bonds that it can in the circumstances, and this is a perfectly valid structure. Energy is released whenever a covalent bond is formed. ... You might perhaps wonder why boron doesn't form ionic bonds with fluorine instead.
