NaOH is an ionic compound.

HCl is a covalent compound with strong ionic characteristics. In water it is ionic.

H2O is a covelant compound.

The reaction you've shown is a neutralisation reaction between an acid and an alkaline producing a salt and water.

Ionic is a non-metal bonded with a metal.
Covalent is two non-metals bonded to each other.
Metallic is two metals bonded to each other. :smile:
