The name of the nonmetal in a binary compound with ionic bonds is modified to end in -ide. In ionic compounds with more than one nonmetal, including oxygen, other modifications of the name are used.

Covalent bonding metal or non metal?
Yes. Almost all are ionic or very close to ionic in character.
What is the name of a bond with a pair of elements that form a bond with the least ionic character?
The least ionic type of bond is a covalent bond.
Is cobalt 2 oxide a covalent or ionic bond?
Ionic. It would have to bind to a non-metal to do this. It can't be covalent because covalent is non-metal to non-metal. If it bonded to another metal though, it would be a metallic bond
Does Fe2O3 have a polar covalent bond?
According to theory it has ionic bonding because a metal bonds with a non-metal. However, because there is not a large difference in electronegativity a bond is formed that is not exactly ionic nor covalent but an intermediate (the difference needs to be higher than 1.8 for an ionic bond to form, Fe has 1.8, O has 3.4 -> 1.6 difference). What this actually means is that Fe does not completely give away its three electrons to become Fe+3 because Oxygen doesn't attract them strong enough, or because Fe attracts them strongly too. Instead, they share the electrons as in a covalent bond. The bond is definitely polar (to give you an idea, the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen in water is 1.2, H has 2.2 and oxygen again 3.4. This gives rise to Hydrogen bonding, which is due to the polarity of the water molecule.). To conclude, the bond is an intermediate between an ionic and a covalent bond, and it is definitely polar.
What type of bond will form between Ca and Cl?
The chemical name for CaCl2 is calcium chloride.
Covalent bonding metal or non metal?
Yes. Almost all are ionic or very close to ionic in character.
What is the name of a bond with a pair of elements that form a bond with the least ionic character?
The least ionic type of bond is a covalent bond.
What is the name given to a bond in which electrons are transfered?
ionic bond
Is cobalt 2 oxide a covalent or ionic bond?

What is the name of a bond that is broken during a chemical reaction?
An ionic bond or covalent bond.

What type of bond will form between Ca and Cl?
The chemical name for CaCl2 is calcium chloride.
What type of chemical bond is used in forming salt?
Table salt is a common name for NaCl (sodium chloride). The bond between the sodium and chlorine atoms is an ionic bond.All salts form by ionic bonds.
What is the name given to the bond that is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another atom?
an ionic bond
When do need to use roman numeral in the name of a compound?
For the transition metals, the roman numeral designates the valence number of the metal in the ionic bond. For example CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, because the copper has a valence of +2 in this bond.
What is the name of the process which an ionic solute dissolves in a polar bond?
mitosis
What is the name of the reaction that makes sodium chloride?
Electrovalent or ionic bond
