Neither. Magnesium sulphate is ionic; individually the sulphate ion is polar.
Petrol is a non polar solvent. Magnesium sulfate is a polar solution. Therefore these two solutions will not dissolve in each other.
Epsom salts, magnesium sulfate, is polar. Rule of thumb: All salts are polar.
If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).
Magnesium sulfate is a compound, and the terms metal a nonmetal do not apply to it.
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds between magnesium and oxide ions.

Def. non-polar
It is Nonpolar
If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).

Calcium sulfate has ionic bonds.
Magnesium sulfate is a compound, and the terms metal a nonmetal do not apply to it.
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds between magnesium and oxide ions.
It depends on the rule you use to classify it. Magnesium Sulfide is ionic, if using the metal-nonmetal rule. It is polar covalent, if using the 1.7 electronegativity difference rule. Both these rules are generalizations.
Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate crystals.
Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.
