An oxide is a compound in which oxygen has a charge of -2. In O F 2 , since fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, so oxygen has a formal charge of +2. ... In this case the most electronegative element is Fluorine, so the compound in named as a fluoride.

reason --->> electrolytic negativity (EN)
EN of oxygen(O2) is less then to EN of fluorine(F)..
what is the EN?
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.
