It is true of binary ionic compounds but not necessarily of compounds containing polyatomic ions.
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Nigger
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
False. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal an ionic bond is formed.
Yes. Barium oxide is an ionic compound. Generally a metal with a nonmetal will form an ionic compound.

a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
Ionic bonds are between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds are between a non-metal and a non-metal. Na (metal) + Cl (non-metal) = ionic Cl (non-metal) + Cl (nonmetal) = covalent
An ionic compound generally forms from a metal and a nonmetal. The nonmetal oxidizes the metal, forming a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. They ions are held together by the electrical attraction. Ions often bond in latticed structures to form crystals.
it forms an ionic compound
If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.
yes because sodium is a metal and nitrogen is a nonmetal therefore forming an ionic compound
