As @perl said it is a compound so you need to focus on the difference between the terms binary and polyatomic

it is a compound because the two elements are non metal . an ionic substance has a metal and a nonmetal

OpenStudy (perl):
Compounds containing two elements (so called binary compounds) can either have ionic or covalent bonding.
If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic.
If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent.
