The answer is in fact both.
CH3COO- is a polyatomic ion (an ion made of a group of covalently bonded atoms) held together by covalent bonds looking something like this
CH3-C-O with an oxygen double bonded to the central carbon. This is known as the acetate ion and overall it has a -1 charge.
Sodium has a positive charge of +1. These two ions combine to form an ionic compound.
ITS: CH3COONa --> CH3COO- + Na+ Or if its CH3COONa . 3H2O --> CH3COONa + 3H2O
CH3COONa is an ionic compound. It is composed of sodium ions (Na+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-), which are held together by ionic bonds due to the transfer of electrons from sodium to acetate.
No, salt is not always an ionic compound. It can be an ionic compound, like sodium chloride (NaCl), but it can also be a covalent compound, like sodium acetate (CH3COONa). The classification of salt as ionic or covalent depends on the elements involved and their bonding.
It is ionic
Bases can be both ionic and covalent in nature.

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