It would be C. a salt because CaCl2 is Calcium Chloride not Dichloride because the charge on the calcium atom is +2 and the sodium ion is -1. It is a salt because any Chloride compound is a salt.

NaF = I think it is Sodium Floride and it is an Ionic Compound yes C3H8 = propane and is Covalent yes BaCl2 = Barium diChloride and is Ionic barium chloride (Only use Greek prefixes with compounds of two nonmetals) Ba3P2 = Barium diphosphide and is Ionic barium phosphide (See above), and it's more covalent than ionic NaO2 = Sodium Oxide and is covalent NaO2 is sodium superoxide, rare. ionic P8I3 = Phosphorous Iodide and is Covalent Never heard of ti. I think you have a typo. There is PI3, phosphorous triiodide, which is covalent. NH3 = Nitrogen Hydride and is Covalent NH3 is ammonia, and its covalent Na2S = Sodium Sulfide and is ionic yes, but its only about 50/50 ionic/covalent Now for this next set he gave us the Name of the compound and I have to figure out the chemical formula and the type of compound. Sodium Oxide = Na02 = Covalent No Na2O, more ionic Trisulfur Dioxide = S302 = Covalent Yes, but not a common compound Pentane = C5H12 = Covalent yes Calcium Nitride = CaN2 = Ionic Ca3N2 is calcium nitride Potassium Carbide = KC = Ionic K2C2 is potassium carbide. carbide ion is C2^2-

That is Calcium Dichloride. It could be a protein.
