Hey there,

Given - Is UF6 a covalent compound or an ionic compound?

Answer- Covalent compound

Reason - Even though, still a subject of debate, theoretical results indicate that the U–F bond is partially covalent and could even possess some multiple bond characters, resulting from F → U π interaction cause.
