Many compounds have both covalent and ionic bonds. For example, soaps are made of a carboxylic acid salt with sodium; the carbon chain is covalent, but the bond between the sodium and the oxygen is ionic.

Are you made of ionic or covalent compounds?
Living things are made up of both ionic and covalent compounds.
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain this type if ion?
Compounds with both ionic and covalent bonds contain polyatomic ions.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
Ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds are metals and nonmetals combined to form a compound. KI= Potassium (metal) Iodide(nonmetal) Covalent compounds are nonmetals and nonmetals combined. NO2= Nitrogen (nonmetal) Dioxide (nonmetal)

Does oxygen form both an ionic and covalent bond?
Yes. If it bonds with a metal, such as magnesium, an ionic bond is formed. However, it can just as easily form covalent compounds with non-metallic elements like nitrogen.

Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
How do ionic and covalent bonds lead to forming compounds?
Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms with bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both bonded atoms or by the transfer of electrons . This form covalent or ionic bond and compounds are formed.
Are polar covalent compounds the same as ionic compounds?
Not at all, in a covalent bond there is no losing or gaing of electrons as both of the atom reacting to make a covalent bond needs electrong therefore they share the electrons to stablized, but in ionic compound like NaCl, there is a losing of electron and gaining of electrons, therefore one element loses and one element gains. Ionic bond or "electrovalent bond" are strong bonds as compare to covalent bonds.

Can a molecule be held together by both a covalent bond and ionic bond?
I think so. Here covalent and there ionic.
Are carbon compounds ionic or covalent?
Can be both
Do organic molecules form ionic or covalent bonds?
They form both. For example, the standard alkyls, alcohols, acids, amines, aminos, etc. form covalent bonds, but organometallic compounds, salts of acids and amines, and similar compounds form ionic (although still using covalent bonding for part of thir structure).
Is OH a covalent or Ionic bond?
It is both
