Potassium oxide, or K2O, is another example of an ionic compound. You may have noticed that unlike the sodium chloride example, which has one sodium ion for each chlorine ion, this time there are two potassium atoms for each oxygen. This is because the charges have to be balanced for the ionic compound.
Some very simple compounds that contain ionic and covalent bonds are compounds that contain compound ions. examples would be NaNO3, and Ca3(SO4)2. Since the electronegativity difference between the N and O is small covalent bonds will be formed.
