Take a look at their electronegativity values for this one. Electronegativity is the relative attraction that a atom in a molecule has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond. Salt is Sodium Chloride which is NaCl. Na has an electronegativity value of 0.93. Cl has an electronegativity value of 3.16. The difference between the two is 2.23. This is much higher than 1.7 (a pure covalent bond e.g. Oxygen-Oxygen bond O2) therefore it is a highly ionic compound. If this was less than 1.7 it would be a polar covalent molecule.

To express enormous figures which are in standard notation like 1,300,000 or exceedingly minuscule quantities like 0.0000000000045, scientists use scientific notation. Scientific notation, also referred to as exponential form, is one of the earliest mathematical techniques. It is well regarded by practitioners. People use scientific notation to handle situations where numbers are too large or too small to be calculated easily. Scientists, engineers, and mathematicians all use this technique. where as standard notation is way writing numbers in normal decimal form. The scientific method id most convenient denoting numbers as the numbers will be either too big or too small.
