BaO, CdS, and FeO contain ionic bonding between the metal and nonmetal atoms. The metals exist as cations in a +2 state, while oxygen exists as anions with a -2 charge. Brass contains metallic bonding since it is a copper-zinc alloy of only metals. Solid neon contains van der Waals forces of attraction since neon is an inert gas. Polyethylene and AIP contain covalent bonding, with polyethylene being a polymer of ethylene molecules and AIP existing as solid plastics.
