It's an IONIC BOND

An Ionic Bond is what you have. Every compound of element is either ionic or covalent. This is due to the Law of Definite Proportion. 

Law of Definite Proportion- Any chemical compound  the elements are always combined in the same proportion by mass.

​

IONIC BOND HAS:

*Composed of a metal and nonmetal    

                            OR    

*Has more than two elements

*Electrons that transfer to the other atom. 

Examples:

1. SC04 - It is ionic because it has a nonmetal and a metal.

2. SF12Ti​12 - It is ionic because it has more than two elements.

​

3. FeO2 - It si IONIC because it has a metal and a nonmetal.​
