Becasue the difference in electronegativity between S and O is only 0.86 which is insufficient for the formation of ioic bonds- the bonds are polar covalent with some pi bonding.

Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
Which compounds are ionic CO2 SrCl2 H2S or SO2?
Ionic compounds occur between atoms of a metal and a non-metal therefore: CO2 would not, SrCl2 would, H2S would not and SO2 would not. Only SrCl2 would be an ionic compound.
Is so3 ionic?
no, it is covalant.
Is Sulfur and xenon form ionic compound or not?
Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.
What compounds would you expect to contain ionic bonds SrI2 SO2 Li2O BrCl CsF CaCl2?
Li2O CsF CaCl2 are all ionic
Does SO2 use ionic bonding?
i do not know
What is an ionic compound so2 clo2 h2o2 tio2?
TiO2 is ionic, rest are covalent compounds
Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.

Is so3 ionic?
no, it is covalant.
Is SO2 non polar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Is Sulfur and xenon form ionic compound or not?
Sulfur can form ionic compounds (eg SO2), but Xenon is a noble gas and does not react to form compounds.
What compounds would you expect to contain ionic bonds SrI2 SO2 Li2O BrCl CsF CaCl2?
Li2O CsF CaCl2 are all ionic
Does sulfur and oxygen for binary ionic compounds?
No, they form covalent bonds. Sulfur dioxide, SO2, for instance.
What does NOT have covalent bonds A. H2O B. SO2 C. K2O D. PCl3?
K2O has ionic bond
Is Zn simple or molecular?
No. It is ionic. That means that Zn has given off to of its electrons to Oxygen and because of the difference in electrical charge between the to they form a binding.
What compound is ionic hcl n2o so2 or cacl2?
HCL is covalent. This is the type of bond that forms with the combination of Hydrogen and Chloride
