<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Compound having oppositely charged ions are considered as ionic compounds.

Covalent compounds are formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms forming a bond. This bond is formed between two non-metals. <u>For Example:</u> H_2O,SO_2 etc..

For the given options:

<u>Option A:</u>  OCl_2

Oxygen and chlorine both are non-metals. Thus, it is forming a covalent compound.

<u>Option B:</u>  Na_2O

Sodium is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal. Thus, it is forming an ionic compound and contain oppositely charged ions.

<u>Option C:</u>  NH_3

Nitrogen and hydrogen both are non-metals. Thus, it is forming a covalent compound.

<u>Option D:</u>  SCl_2

Sulfur and chlorine both are non-metals. Thus, it is forming a covalent compound.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
