Emperical formula give the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
The smallest whole number ratio of elements in an ionic or covalent compound is known as the empirical formula. It represents the simplest ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
The compound P2O5 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The phosphorus-oxygen bonds are covalent, as they involve the sharing of electrons, while the overall structure involves ionic bonding between the phosphorus atoms and oxygen atoms.
Covalent
Hydrogen typically forms a covalent bond, where it shares electrons with another element like oxygen. However, in some cases, it can also form an ionic bond when it donates its electron to another element.

Nd (neodymium) is an element, so it is neither ionic nor covalent.
Ionic
It's an element
No, it is covalent. (Hint: as it consists of only one element, it cannot be ionic)
Since it is composed of one element it can only have covalent bonds.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
Xe is an inert element that can't be combined in a chemical compound to form neither ionic or covalent bond.
