Consider the following chemical reaction:

kolezko [41]

Answer: The correct options are A and E

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which two or more chemical substances react to form two or more different chemical substances.

A new substance (product) is formed in a chemical reaction when the bonds between the reactants are broken so that the new bonds between the products can be formed.

For a given chemical reaction:

$HF+NaOH\rightarrow NaF+H_2O$

Here,

HF is a covalent compound as sharing of electrons take place between hydrogen and fluorine atom

NaOH is an ionic compound as a complete transfer of electrons occurs from sodium to hydroxide.

Thus, to form the products, an ionic bond between sodium and hydroxide must be broken coupled with a covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine.

Hence, the correct options are A and E
