Gold is a metal and so its bonding is via 'Sea of Electrons'.

This is not perfectly ionic nor perfectly covalent. Rather, the valence electrons are delocalised and moving within atomic orbitals of all immediate neighbouring atoms...

What is the name of the ionic compound Cr2S3?

Cr2S3 can be broken down. You know that when combined, the charges will flip and go to subscript. That means that it broken down, it is Cr^3 x S^2. Cr^3 is the transition metal, Chromium III. The S stand for Sulfur. So the answer is Chromium (III) Sulfide

Is iron (III) sulfate ionic or covalent?

Electronegativity Fe = 1.83; O = 3.44 3.44 - 1.83 = 1.61 Since the electronegativity difference is 1.61 the bond is polar covalent 0 - 0.4 = Pure Covalent Bond 0.41 - 1.7 = Polar Covalent Bond 1.7 + = Ionic Bond
