All compounds are made out of atoms of the same element or differed elements.
H2S is not ionic.It is a covalent compound.
KCl is an ionic compound. The electronegativity of potassium (K) is approximately 0.82. The electronegativity of chlorine (Cl) is approximately 3.16. The difference between these electronegativities is 2.34. This high electronegativity difference is what makes potassium chloride an ionic compound. If the electronegativity difference of two elements is greater than 1.7, it is considered to be an ionic compound. If the difference is between 0.4 and 1.7, the compound is considered to be polar covalent. If the difference is less than 0.4, the compound is considered to be covalent. If the difference is 0 (i.e. the two elements are the same), then the compound is considered to be pure covalent. KCl is ionic because K's electronegativity is 0.82 and Cl's is 3.16. A compound is ionic when the electronegativity on the Pauling Scale is more than 2.1. The difference 2.34, so it is ionic.
I had this same question; because dinitrogen tetroxide has 2 Nitrogen & oxygen atoms, I wrote that it is covalent. My reasoning was that it doesn't combine negative and positive charges, both nitrogen and oxygen have negative charges.
"I believe it is Ionic." Whoever said this is wrong, it's covalent (they share an electron from each atom to stabillise themselves) with an instantaneous dipole induced dipole intermolecular force.
It is an IONIC compound as it involves 2 non-metals.
Hydrogen gas (H2) is a covalent compound. Any 2 of the same atoms bonded with each other is covalent.

No.

covalent because same electronegativity.

the properties of a compound are not the same as the elements that form them.

Table sugar is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds are in general formed between a metal and a nonmetal. The exceptions are polyatomic ions that can also form ionic compounds, like ammonium or hydronium. Table salt (sodium chloride) is an example of a common ionic compound.
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.
Not at all, in a covalent bond there is no losing or gaing of electrons as both of the atom reacting to make a covalent bond needs electrong therefore they share the electrons to stablized, but in ionic compound like NaCl, there is a losing of electron and gaining of electrons, therefore one element loses and one element gains. Ionic bond or "electrovalent bond" are strong bonds as compare to covalent bonds.
