An ionic compound is any compound containing a metal and a nonmetal
For example: NaCl, MgO, etc
Sometimes they’ll include polyatomic ions, such as CN (cyanide), ClO3 (chlorate), and many others
For example: NaCN, LiClO3, etc
A covalent or molecular compound usually contains shared pairs of electrons
Some examples are H2O, CO2, CHCl3
Notice, that these are all composed of non-metals.
Hope this helps. It’s hard to answer specifically when I can’t see the options.
If this helps, give me a brainliest, so I know I was helpful.
