C. SF4 is the only one that is covalent because it deals with interactions between non-metal elements.

All the rest are ionic, because there are interactions between Metals and non-metals in them.

Covalent compounds consist of only nonmetalic elements. SF4 is the only one that has only nonmetalic elements. The answer is C.

BTW, exactly how many posts do you plan to make on this one chemistry assignment you are having us do for you?
