Answer : The covalent compound is
NO_2

Explanation :

Covalent compound : These are the compounds in which atoms are covalently bonded.

Covalent bonds are formed by the equal sharing of electrons. These bonds are commonly formed between two non-metals.

Ionic compound : These are the compounds in which atoms are bonded through ionic bond.

Ionic bonds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons. The atom which looses the electron is considered as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as elkectronegative atom.

These bonds are formed between one metal and one non-metal.

From the given compounds, only
NO_2 has 2 non-metals which are nitrogen and oxygen.

Hence, the covalent compound is
NO_2
