Yes, provided HBr is a gas (in aqueous solution it is ionic)

All the others are ionic salts/compounds. Generally if a compound contains a metal it will be ionic - so a, b and e (lettering downwards) are ionic. Ammonium is also an ion, NH4+, so its compounds are ionic.

HBr contains only non-metal atoms and such compounds are usually covalent
