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
Calcium oxide (CaO) has ionic bonding due to the transfer of electrons between calcium and oxygen atoms. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has covalent bonding as it involves the sharing of electrons between nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Hydrogen fluoride (HF) has polar covalent bonding due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine. Chlorine gas (Cl2) has covalent bonding as the two chlorine atoms share electrons equally.
CaO (Ionic)
NO2 (Covalent)
HF ( polar covalent)
Cl2 (covalent).
CaO
NO!!! By Covalent bonding.
The chlorine molecule is formed by two chlorine atoms. Any compound which is formed by the same non metal element is expected to be covalent.
Chlorine (Cl2) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalently bonded element. Chlorine can form ionic compounds like NaCl (Sodium Chloride) or CaCl2 (Calcium Chloride) but is not itself an ionic compound.
"I believe it is Ionic." Whoever said this is wrong, it's covalent (they share an electron from each atom to stabillise themselves) with an instantaneous dipole induced dipole intermolecular force.
There are many compounds that do not have ionic bonds. The most common would be the diatomic gases, such as N2, O2, Cl2, etc.

+2 oxidation state
SO3
They very reactively form simple ionic products, called salts (di-ionic) Example: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2Na+Cl-
Cl2 is covalent. NaCl is ionic.
Cl2 stands for Chlorine.I2 stands for Iodine.
We know that the alkaline earth metal calcium (Ca) and the halogen bromine (Br) form the ionic compound calcium bromide (CaBr2). Here's the reaction: Ca + 2Br => CaBr2
