Yes. Almost all are ionic or very close to ionic in character.
Covalent bonding occurs between two atoms that are both non metals
The bonding in transition metals involves both a "covalent" contribution and a metallic "cloud of electrons bond. Alkali metals just have the cloud of electrons to hold them together- hence softer and lower melting.
KNO3 (potassium nitrate) is made up of potassium (an alkali metal) and nitrogen and oxygen (which are both gasses or 'non-metals'). Ionic bonding is the bonding between a metal and a non-metal. This means that it is not covalent bonding but in fact 'ionic bonding'.
Covalent bonding typically involves the sharing of electrons between two nonmetal atoms. Metals typically form metallic bonds by delocalizing their outer electrons rather than sharing them in covalent bonds.
Ionic. because a metal(Mg) + a non-metal (O).
A metal bonding with non-metals tend to form ionic bonds, a non-metal that bonds with another non-metal tend to form covalent bonds.

ionic, beryllium is a metal and oxygen is a non metal... metal and non metal are always ionic bonding

No. Since silicon is a non-metal, it has a greater tendency to engage in covalent bonding as compared to iron

Nonmetals bonding with other nonmetals most often result in covalent bonds.

No, AIPO4 does not have covalent bonding. It is a compound made up of the elements aluminum (Al), phosphorus (P), and oxygen (O), which typically involve ionic bonding between the metal and non-metal elements.
Copper (II) oxide, CuO is a compound containing a metal - copper, and a non-metal - oxygen. It is therefore has ionic bonding. Remember: Metal - non-metal = ionic bonding Non-metal - non-metal = covalent bonding Metal - metal = metallic bonding
There are two basic types of chemical bonding: Ionic bonding and Covalent bonding. Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non-metal (i.e. Na + Cl --> NaCl) Covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals (i.e. H2 + O2 --> 2H2O)
