I would say only NaF becuz the HCO3 in NaHCO3 is held by covalent force

NaHCO3 and NaF. HCO3 is negetively charged and Na positvely.So NaHCO3 is held together by electrostatic force of attraction.This bond is formed owing to the transference of electrons from HCO3 to Na and hence it is an ionic bond.Same goes for NaF.
