Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compunds too) and organic compounds all contain carbon which always participates in a covalent bond.

What are example of basic compound?
There are two basic types of compounds. They are distinguished by by the manner in which the atoms bind to one another in the compound. These two types are called "molecular" compounds and "salts" (or equivalently "ionic" compounds): Molecular compounds: These compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms bind to one another through "covalent" bonds. Salts: The atoms in salts are held together with "ionic" bonds. Unlike molecules, salts always form solids in a regular array called a "crystalline solid". A bond is the "glue" that holds atoms together. In compounds this glue can either be covalent or ionic. Covalent bonds: The electrons are shared between atoms. Therefore this sharing of electrons provides the glue. Ionic bonds: Ionic bonds occur due to the mutual attraction between atoms with positive and negative charges i.e., ions.

What are atoms held together by a atratction between what?
The electrostaic attraction between atoms (a metal and a nonmetal) occur in ionic compounds.
What are chemical bonds that steal electrons?
Ionic bond; ionic bonds occur when an element, mainly a metal, loses its electron ( to become positively charged) to an other element, mainly a nonmetal, ( to become negatively charged), to form an ionic compound. For example :- Na + Cl = NaCl
What types of elements are involved in a nonpolar bond?
A nonpolar bond could only occur with covalent bonds, as all ionic bonds are polar. This means that all elements involved in nonpolar bonds are nonmetals.
Why do you classify carbon dioxide as inorganic?
Some inorganic compounds contain carbon because the distinction between organic and inorganic compounds is essentially arbitrary. While all organic compounds contain carbon, there are a variety of other carbon compounds that occur in nature but are not considered organic, including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, as well as categories called carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carbides, and thyocyanates.

What elements are in ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.
Do ionic bonds occur in glucose?
Glucose has covalent bonds.
Is carbon disulfide an ionic compound?
Covalent. You have a compound of two non metals, which means they bond covalently. Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a non metal. Another clue is that only covalently bonded compounds use prefixes in the names; ionic compounds do not.
What are two physical properties that differ between covalent and ionic bonds?
There are more than two. In general: Covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points while ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when melted, while covalent compounds are not. Ionic compounds are soluble in water, while covalent compounds are soluble in non-polar liquids. These are the essentials, but other differences exist. All of these are generalizations, exceptions do occur.
What do ionic bonds generally occur between?
a nonmetal and a metal

What does ionic bonding form and what does ot occur between?
Ionic bonds are formed by electrostatic attraction.
What kinds of bonds can happen between the elements of compound?
Covalent and ionic. (The other major type of bond, metallic, does not occur in compounds but only in elemental metals and in mixtures of metals.)
Differentiate between ionic bond and covalent bond?
Covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared between atoms. Ionic bonds occur when one atom transfers electrons to another atom, forming positive and negative ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged atoms form an ionic bond.
Ionic bonds occur between what elements?
a metal and a non metal
What is the major difference between ionic and covalent bonds?
The major difference between the two is: - Ionic bonds occur between one metal and one non-metal (such as sodium and oxygen) - Covalent bonds occur between two non-metals.
Is calcium fluoride an ionic compound?
Calcium is an element, so it isn't a compound at all, ionic or otherwise. As an alkaline earth metal, it doesn't really form covalent bonds; any compounds it does occur in are almost certainly ionic.
