Can someone PLEASE HELP me? How can you tell if a bond is Covalent?

Chemistry

There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic orcovalent. By definition, an ionicbond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals.

<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^+

Which substance is a binary compound?
AysviL [449]
A binary compound is a compound that contain two different chemical elements in it. These compounds may be molecular or may also exist in other forms such as solid. In this case Barium and Beryllium are not binary compounds since they are independent elements, Calcium hydroxide is also not a binary compound since it has more than two chemical elements. Therefore,carbon dioxide is the binary compound since it contains two chemical elements ( carbon and oxygen)
