Two ions
Sucrose does not contain any ions because it is a covalent compound made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. When sucrose dissolves in water, it breaks down into its constituent sugar molecules without producing ions.
The number of atoms in a covalent compound depends on the specific compound. Covalent compounds are formed when atoms share electrons, so the number of atoms involved in a covalent compound will be determined by the elements present and the chemical formula of the compound.
In a compound such as carbon fluoride, the number of ions present depends on the ionic form of the elements. For example, carbon typically forms covalent bonds and does not usually exist as an ion, while fluoride ions have a charge of -1. So, in a compound like carbon fluoride (CF₄ or CF₂), there are no ions of carbon but four fluoride ions for CF₄ and two fluoride ions for CF₂.
No, the attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion results in an ionic bond, not a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms.
A compound containing potassium and oxygen atoms would have a formula of K2O, and would be named potassium oxide. This is a binary ionic compound.
None. Glucose is a covalent compound.
None.H2S is a covalent compound, there are no ions as the electrons are shared between the hydrogen and sulfur.

In the compound dichloride there would be two chlorine atoms. This is because the compound dichloride is a binary covalent compound and these compound always follow the prefixs such as di, tri, mono, etc.

Yes, many, but not all covalent compounds contain carbon.
No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.
Ionic bonds are never formed in a covalent bond. Although, there are ions such as sulfate, nitrate and chlorate where covalent bonds are located inside the ion.
A compound containing potassium and oxygen atoms would have a formula of K2O, and would be named potassium oxide. This is a binary ionic compound.
The two elements in a binary molecular compound are typically found on the right side of the periodic table, in the nonmetal region. These elements share electrons to form covalent bonds in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
