Question

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

Answer 1

$NH_4OH$ contains both covalent and ionic bonds.

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.

b. $NaF$ contain ionic bonds as they are made up of sodium metal and fluorine non metal.

c. $HCN$ contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

d. $NH_4OH$ contain  ionic bonds between $NH_4$ and $OH$ and covalent between N and H in $NH_4^+$
