Potassium nitride, K3N, is an ionic compound. It consists of potassium cations and nitride anions held together by ionic bonds due to the transfer of electrons from potassium to nitrogen.
Nitride hydride is typically covalent. In this compound, nitrogen and hydrogen share electrons to form a covalent bond.
Yes, beryllium nitride primarily exhibits ionic bonding due to the large electronegativity difference between beryllium and nitrogen. While there may be some covalent character in the bonding, the overall nature is primarily ionic.
In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
Aluminum nitride is an ionic compound. Aluminum, a metal, donates electrons to nitrogen, a nonmetal, to form a bond with an ionic character.
Calcium nitride has an ionic bond. Calcium, a metal, donates two electrons to nitrogen, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound with a +2 charge on calcium and a -3 charge on nitrogen.
No, it is ionic
Nitride hydride is typically covalent. In this compound, nitrogen and hydrogen share electrons to form a covalent bond.

Well, the bond between carbon and nitrogen is covalent, whilst the bond between potassium and the cyanide is ionic.
Potassium sulfide has an ionic bond.
Calcium nitride has an ionic bond. Calcium, a metal, donates two electrons to nitrogen, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound with a +2 charge on calcium and a -3 charge on nitrogen.
