Video transcript

Hi everyone here we have a question asking us to identify if cobalt sulfide is ionic or molecular. So in ionic there is a transfer of electrons Between one negative and one positive and it is between a medal and a nonmetal molecular. There is the sharing of electrons in cobalt sulfide. We have a metal and a nonmetal, making this compound eye on it, and that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
