An ionic compound is when the an atom gives away or receives electrons to become stable. A covalent compound is when the atoms share electrons to become stable.
It is a Ionic bond because it is between nonmetals and metal
Basically, you can't tell for any compound if you don't know already. However, generally if it contains a metal and a nonmetal, it is probably ionic. Anything only involving nonmetals (including semimetals) is probably covalent.
If the electronegativity difference between two elements is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed between these two. If the electronegativity difference is below 1.7, then they form covalent bond.
You would need to know the chemical makeup of the compound. Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal while covalent bonding occurs between non-metals
The combination of a metal with a nonmetal yields an ionic compound, and if only metals are involved you get a metallic bond, and if only nonmetals are involved you get covalent bonds. The other technique is to look up the actual electronegativity of the elements involved in the reaction, and determine how great a difference in electronegativity there is. A large difference produces an ionic compound, a small difference produces a covalent compound.
Manganese oxide is an ionic compound because there is a metal and nonmetal a covalent bond would be two nonmetals bonded together
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
it starts with a metal. look at your notes.

Yes, look at the EN values: Cl - 3.16 P - 2.19 In general if En is close together they are Covalent and if there is a lareg difference it is ionic This is just a general rule but PCl3 does obey it
Take a look at their electronegativity values for this one. Electronegativity is the relative attraction that a atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Salt is Sodium Chloride which is NaCl. Na has an electronegativity value of 0.93. Cl has an electronegativity value of 3.16. The difference between the two is 2.23. This is much higher than 1.7 (a pure covalent bond e.g. Oxygen-Oxygen bond O2) therefore it is a highly ionic compound. If this was less than 1.7 it would be a polar covalent molecule.

CaO because Ca is a metal and O is a gas and all the other possibillities are gasses combined and ionic has a metal and gas combination if you look at the periodic table of elements the right side is gases but they are determined by like a staircase and the rest are metals
No, it is not Ionic. An ionic compound is a metal and a nonmetal mixed together. If you look at the Periodic Table of elements, you will see that Nitrogen as well as iodine are nonmetals, therfore it cannot be an ionic compound.
The strength of any bond ionic or covalent is highly variable. Look at a table of Bond Dissociation Energies and compare the energies to see which is stronger.
Ionic is one of the names of this bond. Since its a metalloid it can be considered a covalent bond as well. most people would think this as a ionic because the instantly think silicon is a metal. but you need to look at the question and ask what the question is meaning
