One way to determine if a bond is ionic or covalent is to look at the electronegativity difference between the two atoms. If the difference is large (greater than 1.7), the bond is likely ionic. If the difference is small (less than 1.7), the bond is likely covalent. Additionally, ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, while covalent bonds form between two nonmetals.
It is ionic
Br2 is a covalent compound. It consists of two bromine atoms sharing electrons to form a covalent bond.
The bond in LiBr is primarily ionic, not covalent. Lithium donates an electron to bromine, forming an ionic bond.
The opposite of an ionic bond is a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms.
AiPO is likely to have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the metal ion "A" and the phosphate ion is likely to be ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate group are covalent.

NO is covalent.
NO is covalent.
It is ionic
The bond is covalent.
The covalent bond is weaker.
No, it is ionic
The F-F bond (in F2) is covalent, and non polar covalent at that.
The bond is covalent. If the bond is made by transferring electrons then it is an ionic bond, but if they are sharing the it is covalent.
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
