Eventhough we classify chemical bonds as ionic and covalent,when we get deeper into nature of bonds, we find that what we call an ionic bond has some amount of covalent character and vice versa.So theoritically speaking there's no such thing like nonpolar covalent bond.But if we consider cases of homonuclear diatomic molecules like O2,H2 etc. the electronegativity difference between the two bonded atoms is almost zero and hence there would be an ideal case of equal sharing of electrons by the two atoms in those molecules.Hence it may be called as a nonpolar covalent bond.
An ionic compound is composed of metal and a nonmetal. Therefore NBr3 is a covalent compound, because it is made up of two nonmetals.
Calcium Chloride is an ionic compound. You see, for a substance to be classified as either a non-metal or a metal, it has to be in elemental form. Calcium Chloride is a compound, so you can't say whether it is a non-metal or a metal. However, of the elements that make up this compound, Calcium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal.
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Zinc sulfide is a covalent compound.
Ionic bonds are between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds are between a non-metal and a non-metal. Na (metal) + Cl (non-metal) = ionic Cl (non-metal) + Cl (nonmetal) = covalent
The terms metal and non-metal are usually applied to the elements. Hydrogen fluoride is a covalent gas- it is a chemical compound.
No, KBr (potassium bromide) is an ionic compound composed of a metal (potassium) and a nonmetal (bromine). Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal. Covalent bonds are formed between two nonmetals, where electrons are shared.
FeO is not a nonmetal; it is a compound composed of iron (a metal) and oxygen (a nonmetal).
BaCN2 is not a covalent compound. It is an ionic compound because it is formed between a metal (Ba) and a nonmetal (C and N), resulting in the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal atoms.

A compound is considered ionic if it is composed of a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic compounds form when electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions held together by electrostatic forces. The formula of an ionic compound represents the ratio of the ions present in the compound.
MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond
CuSO4 is an ionic compound. This is because it is composed of a metal (Cu) and a nonmetal (S and O), which typically form ionic bonds through the transfer of electrons.
No, calcium fluoride is an ionic compound. It is composed of a metal (calcium) and a nonmetal (fluorine), which typically form ionic bonds. Covalent compounds are formed between two nonmetals.
P4S7 is a molecular compound because it is composed of nonmetal elements (phosphorus and sulfur) that share electrons to form covalent bonds. Ionic compounds typically involve the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal.
No, carbon tetrabromide is not a binary ionic compound. It is a covalent compound composed of carbon and bromine atoms held together by sharing electrons. Binary ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal, where the metal loses electrons to the nonmetal.
No, this molecule is not ionic. It is composed of all non metal atoms. In order to be ionic, the compound should consist of the following combinations: metal + nonmetal, or metal + polyatomic ion, or 2 polyatomic ions together.
