Binary molecular.
Silicon does not form ionic compounds containing Si cations. It is after all a non-metal. There are some "odd" compounds called silicides binary compounds of metals with silicon but generally these are not ionic, only those with the more reactive metals have ionic nature, silicon forming cluster anions (Zintl compounds) such as Si44- (isoelectronic with P4 molecule)
Compounds containing metals and nonmetals are called ionic compounds. In these compounds, the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged anion. The resulting electrostatic attraction between the cation and anion holds the compound together.

Organic chemistry deals with compounds mainly containing carbon and hydrogen, often found in living organisms, while inorganic chemistry focuses on compounds not containing carbon-hydrogen bonds. Organic compounds tend to have covalent bonds, while inorganic compounds may have a mix of ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Inorganic chemistry can involve a broader range of elements beyond carbon, such as metals and non-metals, while organic chemistry is primarily concerned with carbon-based compounds.
molecule
Ionic compounds: NaCl, KOH, CuSO4, etc. Any compound containing a metal and a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals have positive ions (they lose electrons to the non metal) and non-metals have negative ions (as they gain electrons from the metal) Covalent compounds: CH4, BF3, NH3, all hydrocarbons/ all compounds containing only non-metals.

An ionic compound is a metal and a non metal combination. AL2O3 is Ionic. A binary covalent compound is made from two non metals. N2O3 is covalent.
Compounds containing metals and nonmetals are called ionic compounds. In these compounds, the metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged anion. The resulting electrostatic attraction between the cation and anion holds the compound together.
Examples of binary ionic compounds with regular metals include sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium iodide (KI), and magnesium oxide (MgO). In these compounds, a metal cation (sodium, potassium, magnesium) forms an ionic bond with a non-metal anion (chloride, iodide, oxide).

There are certainly many combinations of metals and non-metals, but other types of binary molecules are also quite common, such as the binary oxygen molecule or the binary nitrogen molecule, in which you have two non-metals combined with eachother.
chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
Binary ionic compounds are compounds composed of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ions (anions). These ions are attracted to each other through electrostatic forces to form a stable compound. The name of the compound indicates the metal cation first followed by the non-metal anion.
A binary compound contains two elements. An ionic compound will contain cations and anions and form an infinite lattice for example sodium chloride, NaCl, calcium fluoride, CaF2. A binary molecular compound will form molecules for example water, H2O, carbon monoxide, CO. The ionic compounds will generally be high melting brittle solids, molecular compounds will vary from gases, (lighter ones) through to liquids and solids, for example the alkanesCnH2n+2,Ionic compounds are generally formed by metals and non-metals, molecular generally from non-metals.
The oxidation number of non-metals can vary depending on the element and the compound it is in. Generally, non-metals tend to have negative oxidation numbers when they form compounds with metals, but they can also have positive oxidation numbers when they form compounds with other non-metals.
