Carbon dioxide contains covalent bonds only; two of them between each oxygen and the centralised carbon atom, for four (4) total per molecule.
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction.

Yes. I know it has an ionic bond with carbon.


Is Carbon Dioxide ionic or covalent?

covalent - both C and O are non-metals, and the electronegativity difference is not sufficient to form an ionic bond.


What type of bond ionic or molecular and polar or non polar is sodium iodide and carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas?

Sodium iodide has ionic bonds, which are always polar. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas both have molecular (covalent) bonds; the ones in carbon dioxide are polar and those in elemental hydrogen molecules (H2) are nonpolar.

Can Carbon and oxygen form an ionic bond?

No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form an ionic bond. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals that tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, the electrons are shared.


Is carbon disulfide ionic bond?

No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.
