Best Answer

Write it as CH3COOH and it is obvious this a carboxylic acid- ethanoic or acetic acid. This is covalent but dissociates in water to give H+ (aq) and acetate ion.

What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?

You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.
