Binary covalent compounds are formed between two nonmetals. They lack metal ions and instead have covalent bonds where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The compound's name usually includes prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element present.

Molecular bonds have what kind of bonds?

"Bonds" do not "have" bonds, because they are bonds themselves. The questioner may have meant to ask, "Molecular compounds have what type of bonds?", and the answer to that question is "covalent bonds".


Is CO a covalent or ionic compound?

It is ionic, because any bond between a hydrogen atom and a polyatomic ion (Hydrogen + polyatomic ion = acid) is always ionic. H+ plus Cl-: hydrogen is a positive ion, chlorine is a negative ion, they attract, HCl is formed, which is hydrochloric acid.


What formula of the ionic compound formed by the elements lithium and oxygen?

The electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen is small. So they will form only covalent compounds and not ionic compounds. CO (carbon monoxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are the two covalent compounds formed. In addition they can form ions like bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and carbonate ion (CO32-) where there is covalent bond (and not ionic) between carbon and oxygen.
