Answer 10

ovalent compounds are compounds with bonds between two non-metals. Ionic bonds are those between a metal and a non-metal.
To determine if an element is a metal or non-metal, just look at the periodic table.
a. Li is found on the left side while F is found on the right. A bond between a metal and a non-metal. This is an ionic bond.

b. Mg is found on the left side while S is found on the right. A bond between a metal and a non-metal. This is an ionic bond.

c. This is a tricky one. ammonia, or NH3, is covalent. You just have to remember this one. It has no net charge, unlike its brother NH4 (which has a 1+ charge put is still covalently bonded). Hydrogen has weird properties!

d. Ca is found of the left side while Cl is found on the right. A bond between a metal and a non-metal. This is an ionic bond. Also consider the charges! Ca has a charge of 2+ but Cl only has a charge of 1-. This is why there are 2 Cloride atoms.

Therefor your answer is going to be NH3.
