Ionic =)
==================
You might think the bonds are ionic if you believe the misconception that all metal-nonmetal compounds contain ions, and are thus "ionic." The bonds in Na3P have only 33% ionic character, meaning the bonds have much greater covalent character than ionic character. There are no 100% ionic bonds, and in Na3P there are no Na+ ions nor P^3- ions. Nor are P^3- ions produced when Na3P reacts with water. Phosphine gas is liberated from a solution of sodium hydroxide. The reaction is very exothermic.
Na3P(s) + 3HOH(l) --> 3NaOH(aq) + PH3(g)

Is ammonium phosphate ionic or molecular?
Ammonium phosphate is an ionic compound.
What is the name of the ionic compound with the formula Ag3P?
Ag = sliverH2PO4 = dihydrogen phosphatesilver dihydrogen phosphate
Is sodium tripolyphosphate a ionic compound?
Short answer both ionic and covalent! The bond between the sodium (metal) and phosphate (PO43-) (nonmetal) is ionic. The bonds between the phosphorous (nonmetal) and the oxygen (nonmetal) atoms are all covalent. The trick is to treat a covalent compound (PO43-, CO32-, etc) as grouped together when balancing charges, looking for ionic bonds, etc.
