Ionic compounds are giant lattices consisting of sufficient of proportions of each ion to produce an overall neutral structure. When molecular fluorides or oxides which might be expected to be ionic such as uranium hexafluoride or osmium tetroxide the bonding is essentially covalent. One compound Li2O in the vapour phase forms molecules which are linear not bent as per VSEPR theory and the bonding has been described as being ionic. In the solid lithium oxide is a typical lattice compound.

Is a diatomic molecle more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or by an ionic bond And why?
A covalent bond. Ionic bonds form crystals, not molecules.
What is the difference between and ionic and covalent bond?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
What type of bond forms between molecules that have opposite charges?
Ionic bonds form between molecules that have what type of charges?
How many atoms are in an ionic bond?
There can be various amounts because molecules can form ionic bonds with other ions if they have opposite charges.
Will calcium form an ionic bond or a covalent bond?
Ionic
Why does ionic bond form among water molecules?
Just the opposite, the water will break down the ionic bond.
