Is BaF2 a ionic or covalent bond?

BaF2 is an ionic compound composed of a metal (Ba) and a non-metal (F). The bond between Ba and F in BaF2 is considered ionic because the electronegativity difference between Ba and F is large enough for Ba to donate electrons to F, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions.

Is BaO ionic or molecular?

No. One way to tell is that Ba and O are on opposite sides of the periodic table, and Ba is a metal and O is a nonmetal. We can also determine the difference in electronegativity. A difference of >1.6 is generally considered as ionic. The electronegativity of Ba is 0.89 and of O is 3.44. 3.44 - 0.89 = 2.55, so the bond is ionic.
