Is calcium bromide a ionic or covalent bond?

Answer 1

No, this is an ionic compound, as calcium is a metal and bromine is a non-metal. A good rule to remember for the future is that elements to the left of the "staircase" on the Periodic Table are metals (except for Hydrogen, a non-metal)and elements to the right are non-metals, while those bordering the "staircase" are metalloids. A metal will always bond with a non-metal in an ionic bond. Covalent bonds occur when two non-metals "share" electrons. You can also judge a compound's bonding type based on its electronegativity difference, but judging by the simplicity of the question that has just been asked, you will likely learn that at a later point of your education in chemistry anyway, and an explanation would be redundant.

No. Calcium bromide is formed by ionic bonding.
