It is Ionic because it's a Metal with a Nonmetal.
The ionic compound SnO2 is called tin(IV) oxide, also known as stannic oxide or dioxide.
SnO2 (tin oxide) consists of both ionic and covalent bonds. The tin ion forms ionic bonds with oxygen ions, while the oxygen atoms share electrons covalently within the oxide ion.
SnO2 has total valence electron of 16e.......... since Sn is the least electronegative then it has to be in the middle of the molecular structure....O = Sn = O
BO is a molecular compound because it is composed of nonmetals (boron and oxygen) and forms covalent bonds.
Cr is a transition metal element, specifically chromium. It is not considered ionic or molecular on its own.
