Borax, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is an ionic compound containing Na+ and a borate anion that contains covalent bonds.
Borax is a sodium compound and therefore ionic.
Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between ions with opposite charges, resulting in a strong electrostatic attraction. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which are generally not as strong as the electrostatic forces in ionic bonds.
Sodium tetraborate, commonly known as borax, is an ionic compound. It is composed of sodium ions (Na+) and borate ions (B4O5(OH)4-) held together by ionic bonds.
The main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons. Covalent bonds occur when atoms share electrons, typically between two nonmetals. Metallic bonds are found in metals and involve a sea of delocalized electrons surrounding positively charged metal cations.
NaCl contains ionic bonds, NH3 contains covalent bonds, K2S contains ionic bonds, and Li3N contains ionic bonds.

The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
The bonds are ionic or covalent.

Hydrogen is involved in covalent bonds but sometimes also in ionic bonds.

Calcium phosphate ) Ca3(PO4)2 The calcium cations are ionically bonded to the phosphate anions. 3Ca^(2+) + 2PO4^(3-) The calcium cations have an overall charges of 3 x 2(+) = 6(+) This '6+' MUST be balanced against a '6-' charge on the phosphate anions. Hence we have 2 x -3 =-6 , to balance the charges. However, with in the phosphate anion the four oxygen atoms are covalently bonded to the phosphorus atom. This leaves three 'spare' electrons for ionic bonding to the calcium cation.
Carbon typically forms covalent bonds. It is rare for it to form ionic bonds.
