Best Answer

A molecular compound is a compound in which atoms are bonded together into particles called molecules by sharing electrons. This is called covalent bonding.

An ionic compound is one in which one atom or group of atoms has pulled the electrons away from one another, forming positively chraged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. The oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another. This is called ionic bonding.

pretty sure that Glucose (C12H22O11) is molecular ( 2 or more compounds and non balanced charges).

Glucose is covalent. It is not ionic, and more correctly would be referred to as molecular.
