How do you know whether a compound is ionic or covalent and how can you find the conductivity rate for both heat and electricity?

As a general rule metals bind to non-metals ionically, and non-metals to non-metals bind covalently. For example NH3 is covalent, vs NaCl is ionic. Conductivity rates for electricity are in general depend...
