I know its Polar covalent bond, but I'm not sure you are that far in chemistry. Polar covalent means that electrons are shared unequally but still shared while and ionic bond means electrons transfered.
BaSO4 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between Ba and SO4 is ionic, where barium (Ba) donates its electron to sulfate (SO4). However, within the sulfate ion itself, the bonds between sulfur and oxygen atoms are covalent, as they involve sharing of electron pairs.
While SO4 is held together with covalent bonds, it acts as an ion with a net -2 charge. Then BaSO4 is connected with an ionic bond.
It is ionic
Ba^2+ + SO4^2- -> BaSO4(s)

Is CsL ionic or covalent
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
Covalent
covalent
It is ionic
Ba^2+ + SO4^2- -> BaSO4(s)
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
BaSO4 is an ionic compound. It consists of positively charged barium ions (Ba2+) and negatively charged sulfate ions (SO4^2-) that are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.
