Individually, potassium and sulfur are elements and therefore are not ions when found in a pure state. However, K2S (potassium sulfide) is a compound that is formed via ionic bonds between the potassium and sulfur atoms.
Potassium sulfate is an ionic compound, consisting of potassium cations (K+) and sulfate anions (SO4^2-), which are held together by ionic bonds. Ionic compounds are considered polar due to the separation of positive and negative charges within the structure.
Neither. Magnesium sulphate is ionic; individually the sulphate ion is polar.
K2S, potassium sulfide, is ionic, which is neither polar nor nonpolar. The 2 potassium atoms lose 1 electron each, and the sulfur atom gains the 2 electrons from the potassium atoms. The potassium atoms become positively charged ions, K+, and the sulfur atom becomes a negative ion, S2-, which is now called a sulfide ion. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bonds between them, forming the ionic compound potassium sulfide, K2S.
Copper is a single element so it is nonpolar. A polar substance forms when two or more elements with different electronegativities bond form a compound.
It is considered an Ionic bond. Therefore it is neither polar or nonpolar. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.

Potassium permanganate is a polar compound. This is a salt that has an ionic formula and being polar refers to the type of molecules that are in a compound.

Polar!
Def. non-polar
Its ionic
CCl4 is nonpolar.
Be and Cl form an ionic bond (BeCl2), and it is polar.
Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound because it is made up of ions held together by ionic bonds. The ammonium ion is positively charged, and the sulfate ion is negatively charged, creating a compound with overall neutrality.
It is considered an Ionic bond. Therefore it is neither polar or nonpolar. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.
