Answer:

SF4 -Covalent bond

BaBr2 - Ionic bond

Ca - Metallic bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Sulphur and fluorine are non metals. Nonmetal atoms combine by the sharing of electrons. This is also called a covalent combination(bond).

In BaBr2, a metal is combined with a nonmetal. This combination involves a transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal forming an ion pair. This is otherwise called an ionic bond.

Atoms of a metal are held together by strong metallic bonds that involves positively charged cations and a cloud of electrons.
