Ionic
Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.
Sodium only forms ionic bonds, because it is a metal.
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
Short answer both ionic and covalent! The bond between the sodium (metal) and phosphate (PO43-) (nonmetal) is ionic. The bonds between the phosphorous (nonmetal) and the oxygen (nonmetal) atoms are all covalent. The trick is to treat a covalent compound (PO43-, CO32-, etc) as grouped together when balancing charges, looking for ionic bonds, etc.
forms a covalent bond APEX:They form an ionic compound.
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
Sodium chloride is ionic.

Ionic, chlorine does not share any electrons with sodium to form a bond.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium hydroxide has ionic bonds. A compound never is any kind of bond.
