Ionic bonds are made up of a metal and a nonmetal elements while covalent bonds are are made up of two metal. So, you can just look at the periodic table and identify which compounds have two metals and which have one metal and one nonmetal. Also, those compounds with high electronegativity difference are very likely to be ionic while the opposite is covalent. HOWEVER, some compounds can be both covalent and ionic. For instance, if HCI gas is at higher temperatures, then it is ionic while it would be covalent at room temp.
Hope I've helped.

The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Consider the location of the particles in an atom.
- Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
- Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.
Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.
Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.
