<u>Answer:</u> The correct options are A and E
<u>Explanation:</u>
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:
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
