Which compound contains both covalent and ionic bonds? a. NCl3 b. NaF c. HCN d. NH4OH
1 answer:
<h2>
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. contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.
b. contain ionic bonds as they are made up of sodium metal and fluorine non metal.
c. contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.
d. contain ionic bonds between
and
and covalent between N and H in

The substance whose Lewis structure shows three covalent bonds is Nitrogen gas molecule.
<h3>What is Lewis structure?</h3>Lewis structure is a dot structure which gives idea about the number of valence electrons that are involved in the bonding within the molecule.
Lewis dot structure of nitrogen gas will be expressed as in the attached image, where between two nitrogen atoms triple bond is present. That triple bond is formed by the sharing of electrons and known as covalent bonds.
Hence in nitrogen gas molecule three covalent bonds is present.
