Based on the name, which substance is a covalent compound?

Covalent compounds are typically formed between nonmetals and use prefixes such as “di-” and “penta-” to show the numbers of atoms. Dinitrogen pentoxide contains nitrogen and oxygen, both nonmetals, so it is covalent. The other choices contain a metal ion or ammonium ion paired with another ion, making them ionic compounds.
