Higher oxidation states imply that ionic bonding is less likely. P(V) atoms would not form compounds with P5+ ions- the polarising effect of such an ion would be too great. (Fajans rules). The same argument can be applied to P(III) compounds as well so I am not clear why this question is being asked! The only ionic compounds of phosphorus involve oxidation state -3 (P3-)and it is only with the group 1 and group 2 metals that the bonding is mainly ionic.

Why is silicon dioxide a covalent bond?
Because both silicon and oxygen 'share' electrons. As the oxidation state of Si is +4 and Oxyen is -2 4-2-2=0 So the sharing of the electrons in the atoms forms a stable molecule. And a covalent bond is the name for the sharing of electrons in a bond.
A higher bond dissociation energy means the covalent bond is?
It means bond is very stable or strong.
A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.
Is a peptide bond a covalent bond?
Yes, a peptide bond is a covalent bond.
What is the usual state of compound at room temperature for a covalent bond?
liquids and gasesare the usual states for a covalent bond at room temperature.

liquids and gasesare the usual states for a covalent bond at room temperature.
What chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons?
covalent bond,coordinate bond and singlet bond
Is covalent molecular?
A covalent bond is one in which atoms within a molecule share pairs of electrons (hence the term covalent or "mutual electron state"). It is not clear to me what is meant by "molecular" in your question, but the bond is intramolecular(or inside the molecule). A covalent bond is a type of molecular bond, if that is the question.
What type of bond is C-Cl?
It's a covalent bond. Carbon is non metal and does not form cations in stable compounds. The bond is polar, as the electronegativity of Cl is higher than that of C.
What type of bonds holds atoms together in a water molecule?
Covalent Bond .
Is nitrogen dioxide a covalent bond or ionic bond?
covalent
What types of bond do H2 have?
nonpolar covalent bond
What type of chemical bond forms when atoms with high electronegativity react with atoms with low electronegativity?
If the elecrtronegativity difference is greater that 1.7 it is an ionic bond. If it is lower that 1.7 but greater than 0 it is a polar covalent bond. If it is equal to 0 it is a pure covalent bond.
