CaC2

Ca - Group 2 metal
C - Group 4 non-metal

It is an ionic compound. :)

Covalent compounds has a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular bonds with Non-metals only. This compound requires little energy/heat to overcome.

Acetic acid is often called “glacial acetic acid”. The origin of this name can be attributed to acetic acid's high freezing point. Acetic acid freezes into a solid at a temperature very close to room temperature: 16.5 ºC, or 62 ºF. When it freezes, it kind of looks like ice; because of the word “glacial”.

Greeley [361]
The  STP is  Standard temperature and pressure. 

Standard temperature is defined as zero degrees Celsius (0° C)

Standard pressure supports 760 millimeters in a mercurial barometer (760 mmHg)

we have that 
760 mmHg= 1 atm

therefore
the answer is
