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

Covalent compounds typically form between nonmetals and use prefixes such as “di-” and “penta-” to show how many atoms are present. Dinitrogen pentoxide contains nitrogen and oxygen, both nonmetals, so it is covalent. The other choices are ionic compounds, involving metal ions or polyatomic ions.
