Ionic Compounds are formed by complete transfer of electrons while Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons.
Ionic compounds have higher melting points while covalent compounds have lower.
Calcium fluoride is an example of an ionic compound, not a covalent compound. Covalent compounds form between two nonmetals, while ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal.
Ionic compounds are metals and nonmetals combined to form a compound. KI= Potassium (metal) Iodide(nonmetal) Covalent compounds are nonmetals and nonmetals combined. NO2= Nitrogen (nonmetal) Dioxide (nonmetal)
Covalently bonded compounds share electrons among their elements.
Covalent compounds and molecular compounds are the same thing if I recalled correctly, just different terms of calling it. And covalent bonds are the bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms, and they are the strong forces of attraction WITHIN the molecule.Please do not get it mixed up with the weak van der Waals' forces that is found BETWEEN molecules and is caused by a temporary shift of electrons to one side of the molecule, resulting in a slightly positive/negative end.
Ionic compounds contain ionic compounds whereas molecular compounds contain covalent bonds in their molecules.
Covalent compounds have shared electrons between atoms.

covalent compounds are said to be polar when shared pair of electrons are unequally distributed between the two atoms .
In an ionic compound, atoms transfer electrons from one to the other, creating oppositely charged ions. The ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds tend to form between metals and nonmetals. In covalent compounds, atoms share electrons. Most covalent compounds form between nonmetals.
Ionic compounds contain ionic compounds whereas molecular compounds contain covalent bonds in their molecules.

Ionic compounds form only between a metal and a non-metal. In water, the elements are Hydrogen and Oxygen, which are both non-metals. Therefore, water is a covalent compound.
No, it can't be. Organic compounds contain carbon. It is, however, a covalent compound, because the bonds are between nonmetals.
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.
