Mg3P2 is ionic. the rest are covalent
CH4 (methane) is a covalent compound.
Methane is a covalent compound.

CH4, covalent.
1.Ionic compound andIonic compounds are composed of anion and cation.E.g (FeCl),(NaCl) etc2.Molecular compoundsMolecular compounds are composed of molecules.E.g.H2O,CH4 etc
As carbon and hydrogen are both nonmetals, it is covalent.
No it is not. In fact, CH4, also known as methane, is a covalent compound.
Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Methane is a hydrocarbon (CH4. Therefore it is COVALENTLY bonded because of the bonds between carbon (non-metal) and hydrogen (non-metal). Ionic compounds only apply to those made of metals and non-metals.
5 atoms, 1 compound.
The molecule of methane (CH4) contain 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms (elements, not compounds !).
Methane is a compound because it consists of two elements chemically bonded together and has its own unique properties.
