BaSO4 is both. Barium is a metal bonded to a non-meal polyatomic ion, in this case the sulfate ion. However, the sulfate ion itself has two non-metals being bonded, which is a covalent bond.
I know its Polar covalent bond, but I'm not sure you are that far in chemistry. Polar covalent means that electrons are shared unequally but still shared while and ionic bond means electrons transfered.
BaSO4 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between Ba and SO4 is ionic, where barium (Ba) donates its electron to sulfate (SO4). However, within the sulfate ion itself, the bonds between sulfur and oxygen atoms are covalent, as they involve sharing of electron pairs.
While SO4 is held together with covalent bonds, it acts as an ion with a net -2 charge. Then BaSO4 is connected with an ionic bond.
It is ionic
SO42- + Ba2+ --> BaSO4

BaSO4 is part ionic and part covalent. The barium cation (Ba^(2+) is ionically bonded to the sulphate anion (SO4^(2-). However, within the sulphate anion, the 4 x oxygens are bonded covalently to the sulphur. as S(=O)2 -(O^(-))2 Because of electronic resonance, each of the two oxygen atoms that are singly bonded, have a charge of '-1' , but overall it becomes '-2'.
Is CsL ionic or covalent
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
