It depends on the rule you use to classify it. Magnesium Sulfide is ionic, if using the metal-nonmetal rule. It is polar covalent, if using the 1.7 electronegativity difference rule. Both these rules are generalizations.
Octate rule can be one of them.
Yes. As a basic rule of thumb, a compound that is comprised of a metal and non-metal is an ionic compound.
Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name.Rule 2. The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium").Rule 3. The anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide").

This is Ammonium acetate and it's an ionic compound. The first element in an Ionic compound's formula is usually a metal because ionic compounds consist of a cation and an anion binding. The only common exception to this rule is is ammonium. Not only is it ionic but its a polyatomic ionic compound.
Octate rule can be one of them.
Yes. As a basic rule of thumb, a compound that is comprised of a metal and non-metal is an ionic compound.
Neon obeys the octet rule by not reacting and not forming ionic compounds as it already has a stable outer shell of eight electrons.

If the difference in electronegativity between the elements is greater than 2 then the bond will be ionic, if its between 1.6 and 2 then it will be ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
The rule of zero helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because the anion will always want to bond with a action to get zero net charge on the compound.
The rule of zero charge helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because you know that what anion is present, the action that bonds will make the net charge zero.
Simplest rule: metal + non-metal gives an ionic bond Next simplest: electronegativity difference greater than say 1.7 Remember rule 1 "In inorganic chemistry there are exceptions to every rule even this one"
