Answer

### C. \( \mathrm{Ca}_{3} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \)

Explain

## Step1: Identify Ionic Bonds<br />### Ionic bonds typically occur between metals and non-metals. They involve the transfer of electrons, resulting in the formation of ions.<br />## Step2: Analyzing Each Compound<br />### A. \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6} \): Contains covalent bonds (non-metallic elements only).<br />### B. \( \mathrm{PCl}_{5} \): Contains covalent bonds (non-metallic elements only).<br />### C. \( \mathrm{Ca}_{3} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \): Calcium (metal) and nitrogen (non-metal) form ionic bonds.<br />### D. \( \mathrm{SF}_{2} \): Contains covalent bonds (non-metallic elements only).
