As a general rule, the further apart elements are on the Periodic Table, the more likely the compound that they form is ionic. Consequentlly, the closer they are, the more likely they will be covalent. If you have the electronegativity values for the elements in question, you can calculate whether the compound is covalent, polar covalent, or ionic. Find the absolute valule of the difference between the electronegativities of the elements. If the difference is: 0 to .5 = covalent .5 to 1.9 = polar covalent 1.9 to infinity = ionic
No, NCl3 is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound because it is formed by sharing electrons between nitrogen and chlorine atoms.
No. CCl4 is a polar covalent compound and not ionic.
No, NI3 is not a covalent compound. It is a binary ionic compound formed between the metal nickel (Ni) and the nonmetal iodine (I) through ionic bonding.
No, CH3COOH (acetic acid) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound, consisting of covalent bonds between the atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
SiCl4 is a covalent compound. It is formed by sharing electrons between silicon and chlorine atoms, rather than transferring electrons as in ionic compounds.
No, NCl3 is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound because it is formed by sharing electrons between nitrogen and chlorine atoms.
No. CCl4 is a polar covalent compound and not ionic.

No, carbon monoxide is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound formed by the sharing of electrons between carbon and oxygen atoms.
No, CH3COOH (acetic acid) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound, consisting of covalent bonds between the atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
SiCl4 is a covalent compound. It is formed by sharing electrons between silicon and chlorine atoms, rather than transferring electrons as in ionic compounds.
Phosphorus pentachloride is a covalent compound.
Calcium fluoride is an example of an ionic compound, not a covalent compound. Covalent compounds form between two nonmetals, while ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal.
Pl3 is covalent. It is a covalent compound formed by the sharing of electrons between phosphorus (P) and iodine (I) atoms.
No, it is not. It is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons between Chlorine and Oxygen atoms
Carbon tetrachloride is a covalent compound. It consists of covalent bonds between carbon and chlorine atoms rather than ionic bonds typically found in ionic compounds.
Chlorine oxide would be a covalent compound, and not an ionic compound.
