How would you know that nitrogen dioxide is a covalent compound just from the name?

Sadly you do not. Sodium oxide, thats ionic. The -ide ending and the prefixes di- tri etc do not indicate the type of bonding. They indicate composition of the compound. It is a common mistake that is sadly taught in some places.

What is name of compound NH?
A compound made up of hydrogen and nitrogen, for example ammonia (NH3).
Is Dinitrogen tetrachchlode ionic or covalent?
I had this same question; because dinitrogen tetroxide has 2 Nitrogen & oxygen atoms, I wrote that it is covalent. My reasoning was that it doesn't combine negative and positive charges, both nitrogen and oxygen have negative charges.
Is N2O3 ionic or molecular?
molecular
Would nitrogen and phosphorus form a covalent bond?
Yes. Nitrogen and phosphorus would form a covalent bond.
What is the difference between nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide?
No. Nitrogen dioxide is a compound of nitrogen an oxygen, meaning that the two elements are chemical bonded together to form a different chemical with its own unique set of properties. In a mixture the nitrogen and oxygen would not be bonded to each other and would retain their individual properties.
