The type of bonds in ammonium chloride are ____________
A. Covalent and electrovalent B. dative and covalent C. dative and electrovalent D. covalent, dative and electrovalent
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Ammonium Chloride \(\left( NH _{4} Cl \right)\) can be re - written as \(NH _{4}^{*} Cl ^{-}\) The bond type between \(NH _{4}^{+} Cl ^{-}\)is electrovalent (ionic). \(NH _{4}^{+}\)has the structural formular, The arrow shows a dative (or coordinate covalent) bond between \(NH _{3}\) and \(H ^{+}\), while the remaining bonds (between \(N\) and the \(3 H _{5}\) ) are covalent.
