Chemicals bond in three different ways; ionic, covalent, or both. To have an ionic bond, the formula has to have a metal and nonmetal. In order to have a covalent bond in the formula has to have two nonmetals bonding together. Finally to have both bonds happening at the same time a polyatomic ion is needed.
Below is a picture of a worksheet we did in class that demonstrates how each bond can be determined and my ability to name each bond that is happening.
