FeO
Explanation
Generally, Compounds made by the combination of Metals and non metals are ionic, compounds made by the combination of non metals only are molecular
FeO: Fe is element and O is non metal
CH4: C is non metal and H is non metal
NO2 : N is non metal and O is non metal
From electronegativity point of view
Covalent bond : electronegativity difference between atoms is 0.0 to 0.4
Polar covalent bond : Electronegativity difference between atoms is 0.5 to 1.7
Ionic bond : Electronegativity difference between atoms is >/= 1.8
