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'.
What else can I help you with?
Is BaSO4 covalent or ionic?
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.
Is BaSO4 covalent of ionic?
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.
Is chlorine oxide ionic or compound?
Chlorine oxide would be a covalent compound, and not an ionic compound.

Is BaSO4 a molecular or ionic compound?
BaSO4 is an ionic compound. It consists of positively charged barium ions (Ba2+) and negatively charged sulfate ions (SO4^2-) that are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

Is P4O6 molecular or ionic?
It is a molecular (covalent) compound. Present day text books refer to a covalent compound as a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic one.
