Well!! If by ionic you mean full transfer of electrons from one atom to another then the answer is no. However in real life this is rarely attained. Bonds are said to have covalent or ionic character - this is just another way of saying polar covalent. One analogy is to think of bonding as a spectrum from pure ionic at one end to pure covalent at the other.

Can a molecule be held together by both a covalent bond and ionic bond?

I think so. Here covalent and there ionic.


Is AiPO a ionic bond or covalent bond?

AiPO is likely to have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the metal ion "A" and the phosphate ion is likely to be ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate group are covalent.


Is FeCO3 an ionic or covalent bond?

FeCO3 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The Fe-C bond is mainly covalent, as both atoms share electrons, while the Fe-O bond is ionic, as Fe donates electrons to O to form a bond.


Is PBO ionic or covalent bond?

PBO (lead(II) oxide) contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lead and oxygen is predominantly ionic due to the electronegativity difference, while the oxygen-oxygen bond is covalent.


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.


Which compounds have both a covalent and ionic bond?

There are thousands of them. e.g. Na2SO4 ; sodium sulphate. The two sodium cations are bonded ionically to the sulphate anion. Within the sulphate anion the four oxygen atoms are bonded to the sulphur atom covalently.


Does oxygen and nitrogen form an ionic bond?

No, oxygen and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. They are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.


Is a hydrogen bond stronger that an ionic bond?

No, hydrogen bonds are weak in comparison to both ionic and covalent bonds.


Is NaCl is it both a ionic and covalent bond?

No - sodium chloride is ONLY an ionic compound.


Is SCl2 ionic or covalent bond?

SCl2 forms a covalent bond. Sulfur and chlorine are both nonmetals, so they share electrons to form a covalent bond.


Is S and O ionic or covalent?

Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
