Answer 2

The electron dot structure of a molecule of ammonium chloride indicating all the types of bonds formed  in the compound is given in the attachment.

Explanation:

• In ammonium chloride, the central atom, i.e. nitrogen has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, its valency is 3.
• It combines with three hydrogen atoms to share its three outermost electrons.
• Thus, it has three $N-H$ covalent bonds.
• The nitrogen atom forms a coordinate bond with a $\[{H^ + }\]$ ion with its lone pair of electrons.
• Now, a positive charge comes on the nitrogen atom due to the donation of a lone pair of electrons to $\[{H^ + }\]$ ion. This forms an ammonium ion.
• The positively charged ammonium ion forms an ionic bond with a negatively charged chloride ion.
• Thus, ammonium chloride has three covalent bonds, one coordinate and one ionic bond.
