generally melting point of mixture is always different from melting point of pure compound

lets say you have a two compounds called A and B

and you have a unknown compound called X which can be either A or B

now your target is to find unknown is really A or B right?

take some amount of X and mix it with A and B separately

out of these two mixtures one will be pure compound (because we initially assume that unknown can be either A or B)

suppose X + A is same melting with A then X is A

X +B will be less than the melting point of A or

suppose X+B is same melting point like B then X is B

X+A will be less than melting point of B

Which compound contains both covalent and ionic bonds? <br> a. NCl3 b. NaF c. HCN d. NH4OH

Marina86 [1]

<h2> $NH_4OH$ contains both covalent and ionic bonds.</h2>

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

a. $NCl_3$ contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.
