The main difference between a covalent compound and an ionic compound is the type of elements used. In a covalent compound, a nonmetal bonds with another nonmetal (e.g. H20, NH3, CH4).
In an ionic compound, a metal bonds with a nonmetal (e.g.NaCl, KCl, MgCl2). What makes an ionic compound binary is the amount of atoms used. This includes any ionic compounds that has two atoms such as NaCl and KCl.
Note that although MgCl2 has two elements, it does not have the same amount of atoms. Mg is one atom and Cl has a subscript of 2 which makes chlorine have two atoms.

I am a blacksmith, I would know this one. Alright... Aluminum, has a great shine to it, and it looks like silver... Same with tin, except aluminum is super shiny and sleek, while tin has a dull shine to it. Steel, is flat (color-wise), and it has a slight shine to it.
You can find what type of metal it is by color, shine, light reflectance, dullness, and several other properties. Hope I helped you! :)
