<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.

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 $NH_4^+$

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. What best describes this change?

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.

Explanation:

In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.
